A wish fulfilled

My life is full
And my wish is fulfilled
I wished for purpose
And here it is

Every month a portion of my salary
Goes to good causes
Every month I bring my brother joy
By doing well
And I am a good friend
And I am a good poet

I admit, I set the bar low
I only have to stay employed
But even if that somehow ever goes away
I would find other ways
To fulfill my purpose

If I would fail and cause harm
Then this would simply become part of my story
It would not diminish what I have already done
It would not destroy me
For it would not be all of me

And this knowledge lifts a burden of my heart

But I should mention what my purpose is
It is simply doing good things

The scope is irrelevant
Causing a smile
Is as precious as helping someone with money

If I would go to prison
Would I not be able to bring my peaceful nature with me?
Would I not be able to touch a heart with my words?

Perhaps my poetry would work quite well in oral form as well

Would the wisdom I've earned depart
Even in the darkest night?
I doubt that it would

Nothing will keep me from doing good
From acting with good intentions

There is no news section for small good deeds
There is no hall of fame for it
This is just as well
For I'm not fond of giving speeches

The quiet mind and soul this purpose brings
Is really all I want
And all I need
A quiet life is a dream come true

It is a wish fulfilled
