Other People's Lives
Most folks like to shower;
Some prefer the bath.
Life allows such choices;
We can access either path.
Lots of folks skip breakfast;
Many wouldn’t dare.
When we look at others’ lives,
It’s natural to compare.
Most homes have the TV on;
In others, no one watches.
Some adults sip sodas;
Others like their beer or Scotches.
Many homes are sparkling clean;
Others look quite messy.
Some folks dress in jeans or sweats;
Others opt for dressy.
Many people nest at home;
Others love to travel.
Some folks garden to relax;
Others just plant gravel.
There are those who read or cook
Or paint or dance or sing.
Every person somehow finds
Whatever is his thing.
I think of other people’s lives,
So different from my own;
And love the fact we all create
Our private comfort zone.
