A relative emotion
Subtract/divide
by two
Start with joy
add a pinch of misery after so many years
find the balance
Contentment
Do you feel it?
Laying here curled up
in your arms
on a Saturday morning
The newspaper is here
The kids are gone
Their lives are full
of themselves
Just us
subtract
divide
Contentment

I have a hard time relaxing and finding “contentment” believe it or not… lol….
No! You? You must be joking! 😉
It may come, with time.
Clever work lovely Linda. QED
Thank you, Mike 🙂
Wow. Yeah. I don’t want my kids to grow up all that fast, but I do ache for these kinds of Saturday mornings. I think and hope they’ll be sweeter than the first time around, pinches of misery notwithstanding.
That’s all we can hope for… Thanks very much for the comment, Rory. 🙂
