Perhaps it's a rack
for your hat at day's end,
a small plot of land
or stream with a bend,
a smile, a hand,
hot stew with your friends.
For me, it's to stand
—a bird on my fence,
the sun on my back,
green grass for a scent,
no thought of a lack—
and I am content.

But godliness actually is a means of great gain
when accompanied by contentment.
1 Timothy 6:6 NASB
It was for freedom that Christ set us free;
therefore keep standing firm
and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
Galations 5:1 NASB
Therefore, take up the full armor of God,
so that you will be able to resist in the evil day,
and having done everything, to stand firm.
Stand firm, therefore, having girded your loins with truth,
and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and having shod your feet with the preparation
of the gospel of peace;
in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith
with which you will be able to extinguish
all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6:13-17 NASB
If we have food and covering,
with these we shall be content.
1 Timothy 6:8
Make sure that your character is free from the love of money,
being content with what you have; for He Himself has said,
"I will never desert you
nor will I ever forsake you,"
Hebrews 13:5 NASB
