The Grass Isnt Always Greener On the Other Side

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side

Your problems seem bad but theirs are overgrown so easy to hide

You want to convert because you feel the need 

You never know what their mistakes entail because you didn’t see them plant the 
seed

You think their dirt is better be a little wiser

They might not be growing well for the lack of a fertilizer

They cut away too much with their knife

Did they get enough of the essence of life

Now they might sit on a useless mound

While your grass is adequate because it has good roots in the ground

So be happy with what you have and find peace and joy inside

Remember the grass isn’t always greener on the other side
