ENOUGH
Enough.
It seems begrudging;
It almost sounds wanting;
Like, in reality, barely.
Like you can “just barely… “,
Because “you have enough.”
Enough time,
Enough energy,
Enough patience,
Enough love.
Enough, of enough!
ME?
I prefer plenty!
Plenty of experiences,
– of friends,
– of ways to contribute,
– of opportunities to learn,
A life of, “Plenty!”
Enough?
Not for me!
