Isn't It enough?

Shane Dickie 1969 (Riverview)



                 Isn’t It Enough
Isn’t it enough
The beauty of a sunrise or sunset,
The humming of the bees in the summer,
The taste of a ripe beach or a sweet banana,
Isn’t it enough the way a song brings you to new
        Heights
      A gentle deed or a soft spring breeze,
The sound of a babbling brook…
Isn’t it enough or how much do we need  to be
        Satisfied?
           It is enough; it is us who are  not enough
