<br><br><center>*Be content with what you have; 
Rejoice in the way things are. 
When you realize nothing is lacking, 
The whole world belongs to you.*
—Lao Tzu</center>


<br><br><center>All I need is rain 
And coloured umbrellas

<br>A tiny house 
With a window 
For a cat to look out

And in spring, 
A haze of buds
To fill the air with bitter talk

And then life
Would be complete…

But it’s never enough.


<br>My soul is cratered
Like the Moon

With so many holes
That need to be filled

And so we make children
Careers and dreams

And it takes a lifetime
To accomplish our schemes.

<br>But the best thing, Love,
I ever knew

Was lying in bed
In love with you.</center>
