I should wish to keep contentment…
…to know it is enough
to have what I am holding
and not what I have sought
I should like to know contentment
is worth more than temporal gold
and clasping you in sentiment
is love’s wondrous way to hold
you close when you are far way
and I should wish to be
contented, here, right now, today
and let tomorrow be
for it will come when it will come
its cares with it will wait
Within the arms of home sweet home
Contentment’s law is sweet
I don’t want to be distracted
By the things I do not have
Or dare to take for-granted, life
With one foot in the grave
And I will be content to simply
Have and hold this moment
To pine for what I do not have
Is foolishness and torment
Merry Christmas, darling
Oh, I know that I’ve been blessed
And may its sweet contentment be
The thing I cherish best
