“I will never be satisfied”

February 18, 2017 by Jane

I read this poem a couple days ago.

“Perpetual Dissatisfaction”

It is the ingratitude which blinds us
Our failure to see what we have
on the way to getting more
Our disregard for what we step over
on the way to somewhere else
Our lack of attention to the person by our side
on the way to someone else
Our dismissal of the good that we do
on the way to something greater

All that we take for granted
falls through our hands
and disappears from sight

– Mary Jo Leddy
