The Cycle of Want

Are we at peace

when we get what we’ve asked for,

or do we continue to see

life

for what we want

and not what we have?

Are we ever content,

one day to the next,

to bask

simply

in the gaze

of He who gives good things?

We want yesterday

when today should suffice

and long

for tomorrow

so we might yearn

for the day wasted.
