Happy I am

My name is Elaine but call me Lanie
some days I'm not so sure.
But in my lifetime all I know
There's been so much I have endured.

I just don't know what it is
or what I am suppose to do
Here I am at 47
will I know by 52?

Or is it the law in this world
that you must pursue a career?
Or is it more important in life
to appreciate what you hold dear?

I know I have in my life
everything I've always dreamed for.
I am so happy just being at home
I couldn't ask for anything more.

I keep asking myself over & over
what is the passion inside my heart
All I come up with in my mind,
is to be happy, be loved & smart.

I have a wonderful man
who loves me with his heart.
I thank God each and every day
to pray that we never part.

I have 4 beautiful Golden Retrievers
that are always funny it seems.
I love all 4 with my heart & soul
they are the answer to all my dreams.

And finally there is Chance
my rescued potbelly pig.
He is loved here in his new found home
where he sleeps a lot and loves to dig.

So my life to me is really great
it's a feeling in my heart I know.
So maybe my life is really complete
my moms keeps telling me so.

For my mom knows all & is full of love
I can see it in her eyes.
So I'll take what she says and carry on
be loving, to live and be wise.
