Everything We See

With everything we have, you'd think we could be content.
Except everything we have, keeps us wanting more content.
Taking one step at a time, leaving what we once loved behind.

With everything we see, you'd think we could believe.
Except everything we see, keeps us wondering.
Taking one step at a time, keeping what we love in sight.

  1. Enjoying your words...looking forward to more.

    Hope you don't mind me being bold...what if you added 'in disbelief' to the next to last line...'keeps us wondering in disbelief'. It would tie 'believe' and 'disbelief'...similar to how wonderfully you played with 'content' and 'content' in the first stanza and it would fill out the rhythm in the second stanza. Then how about changing the last word... 'sight', to 'mind'...rhyming with 'behind' from the first stanza.
    It's great the way it is...merely a thought to have the stanza's mimic each other more...
