The Deceit of Envy
A barren wife envious,
of a passing child's carriage.
A single mom envious,
longing for the wife's marriage.
A larger girl envious,
of a thinning lady's frame.
A thin lady envious,
wishing to eat without pain.
A drink server envious,
of a glamorous house wife.
A drunk house wife envious,
yearning for a sober life.
A bicyclist envious,
of a shiny red Corvette.
A stressed driver envious,
wanting a life free of debt.
Be careful what you envy,
things aren't always as they seem.
Be grateful for what you have,
it could be another's dream.
