Stuff Is Not Much

Don't envy the rich, or gold for yourself
For much stuff is not what it seems
Though you may not have wealth
If you have your good health
It's more than a whole world of things.

Greetings, Laura. Congratulations on your high place in the Grook contest. I agree, envy is an unhealthy state of mind; sometime we don't appreciate what we have and that doesn't make us proud of who we are. I like the humor and the wisdom you portray so well in your poem. Thanks for your kind comment today. Best Wishes, Andrew.
