What positive emotion do you feel most often?

I’d like to say it’s gratitude

Or unrelenting joy

But have to answer honestly

Such gushings not my style.

---

I screw things up, I get things wrong

I do that all the while.

When things go right I’m ‘satisfied’

Allow myself a smile.

---

Of course I’ll get excited,

be happy, have my thrills

But they’re not things for every day

They happen when they will.

---

Mostly I’m just ‘satisfied’

I rub along ok

Nothing went too very wrong

It was an ok day.

---

You have to have your ups and downs

And plain old ordinary days

It makes the good days special

It’s always been that way.
