Envy Of Other People
Obsessed with other’s wallets,
how much they have or earn,
how they manage to live as they do
or how they have money to burn.
How they can ‘afford’ to do this and that,
‘A new car I see on the drive’,
‘Yet another holiday’
and ‘More gadgets to arrive!’
‘They have more coming in than we do’
or else ‘They’re all in debt!’
Who cares what others have
or how much they seem to get.
Stop fretting about the neighbors,
how it compares to what you do.
I sense a little envy
that they have more than you!
They may be living in luxury
but be feeling rather sad,
they may have every gadget
but home life may be bad.
Why compare with other people
or envy them their ‘things’?
You can’t see what it cost them
or the heartache that it brings.
So work at being happy,
focus on family too,
keep your outlook sunny
and others will envy you!
