Comtemplative 12
Fruitless Search
We, many times
Search for what we have
Turn down what we see
Look for the fantasy
Question what we have
Look for something better
A society that tells everyone
That there is more out there
To try to get the best
Not to settle for what you have
To only better ones self
Live to gain, little on give
We are always searching
Is it time to stop?
Is what we hope to find
Worth the dedication to search
Sacrificing what we have
To find the unknown
When to give up
To truly see what we have
To appreciate what we see
Recognizing the true value
Rejoice in what you have
Time to give up the fruitless search.
