Ich bin ganz zufrieden (I am quite happy)
Ich sehe das Meer
Ich freue mich auf den Mond
um mich herum
ist dunkel und still
Nur ruhig
mein Herz weiß
ist in dem Tempo
meiner ruhigen Atem
Ich lebe in einer Welt,
wo keine Blätter
rascheln im Wind
doch für das Leben von mir
Ich kann das Meer nicht sehen
aus meinen eigenen Platz -
im fernen Dunkelheit
erscheinen die Berge
Brüten in Geheimnis
wie mein Leben unerkennbar
so meine Hoffnung, der Liebe
noch, kann Ich mich nicht beklagen
da jeden Tag
Ich bin ganz zufrieden
mit dem, was lieben Gott
hat mich gesegnet.
I see the sea
I look at the moon
all around me
is dark and still
the only calm
my heart knows
is in the pace
of my quiet breath
I live in a world
where no leaves
rustle in the wind
yet for the life of me
I cannot see the sea
from my own place -
in far-off darkness
appear the mountains
brooding in mystery
like my life unknowable
as my hope of love
still, I don't complain
since every day
I am quite happy
with what Dear God
has blessed me.

About this poem:
I wrote the poem to say that what I lack is not as important as my serenity and everything I'm blessed with.So many people complain and are resentful and I am grateful for what I do have and I learned how to give thanks for it.
Life can be lonely but even then I look forward to every day and appreciate being happy is all I need most in life.
