Saying Vs Doing

So carefree into the nature I pass, So carefree I roll onto the soft grass. YOU HAVE TO FEEL THE NATURE IN YOU- So said my reverened Guru. As I got older, I carried those words only in my head. I saw a nice house beside mine A palacial one, patterns so fine I thought if I had been the owner In place, I felt, I became 'ower'. I saw one of my friends Holding a pair of beautiful hands; I felt red with spleen With envy, I got green. I saw a man driving a Ferrari, I couldn't be at all marry; And I had a heartburn, Into my heart, that really did turn. Now I am aged and torn And see a child as it is born; I feel jealous as I have creased skin I feel like to replace the babe, as beautiful as a bean. ...At long last, I realize I did not pass the nature into me Yet affected, I'm there, where lies she; I bore the words only in my head, And terribly did I neglect. What's the use of keeping the words in head If in practise those do not reflect?
