And then
my problems were trivial.
For I had nothing to gripe about,
for I had safe passage through my ways,
for I was full in my belly and hungered not,
for I thirst not for drink and was quelled of it,
for my labor gave me sustenance, and I earned my keep,
for my lover gave me joy and contentment,
for my friends gave me comfort and lent me their ears and shoulders,
for my shelter gave me succour,
for my family gave me bliss, for my being gave me meaning, for my spirit made me think,
for I was not starved of anything.
For I was not for in want of anyone.
