it wasn’t enough
that i had all i ever dreamed of
it wasn’t enough
that i had
a partner
a child
a home
it wasn’t enough
that i was always employed
always healthy
always having a place to go
it wasn’t enough
that i never had
one day of hunger
one night of cold
one day of heat
one night of wanting
one day of going without
the heart is always hungry
always wanting
always craving
always demanding
always seeking
always dreaming
always wishing
nothing was
nothing is
nothing ever will be
Enough.

Vonita I’m afraid that’s being human. We are either prideful or in dispair. Only for mere moments do we seem to be able to exist in the middle, in happiness. I hope things are better since this. Tomorrow is always a new day and new chance to strive for the Middle road. Have a Happy New Year!

I love your thoughts, Mandi, I agree it is all part of being human! We strive for happiness, but even if we make it there, the goalposts move. Maybe that’s what keeps us moving. Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉
