The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

The Grass Is Greener, But

It’s all a matter of perspective
When another’s possessions are craved
Unaware there’s someone behind you
Desiring what’s yours and feels depraved

Somehow, “The Grass is Always Greener,
On the other side of life”, they say
But it’s a matter of perspective
A look behind you may make your day

No harm to wish for things out of reach
If you keep wishes in perspective
Be thankful for the blessings you have
Look behind you and be objective
