Good Fortune

When good fortune rains down
On some family or friend,
We can share in their joy
And best wishes extend.

It’s a wonderful thing
To be in on the news
And be able to smile
And to proudly enthuse.

For we know they would be
In a similar vein
If good fortune on us would,
Instead of them, rain.

I'd hope so. But jealousy may crop up. I like the positive attitude of your poem better.
