Envy

There he is getting out his

Aston Martin, shrouded in his

Dolce and Gabbana suit, Not a hair 

out of place, his Nose supporting

Gucci sun Glasses, his designer

stubble accentuating the perfect

teeth and demeaning smile, 

Slowly walking around the

pristine body work of the car in

his highly polished Versace shoes,

opens the passenger door looking

around as his super model girlfriend 

gracefully alights as he examines her

for any imperfections, then arm in arm

they stroll down the street and enters

the wine bar, ready for a night out,

after which they go for a meal at

the French restaurant, then to a 

members only night club,

why is life so unfair? why should

he be so privileged? how did he get

things so right and I got it so wrong?

why do I have make do ? When he

doesn't even have to try, 

I feel so let down so disadvantaged,

Such a vivid descriptive write ... people may have the trappings of success but often there is something lacking in their lives friendships can easily be bought. My son went to nursery at a private school - I used to arrive in my old car and park it next to all the posh ones.. but I had held down 5 part time jobs to buy it 2nd hand and I was overjoyed - after my husbands cancer material things mean little - if you have your health you are truly the richest person in the world:-) hugs jan xx

Thank you Jan for taking time to comment, I don't have an envious bone in my body either, I totally agree with your sentiments, health, family and real friends are the most important, thanks again.
