All In The Mind
Grass...
Born of seed and nurtured by water,
soil and sun
is mowed, trimmed, edged, doctored
and tended with care
and always seems greener
in someone else's yard
until a closer look reveals it
for what it is.
Can we not be content
with our own lawn
and know that our painstaking efforts
may produce yet a finer, greener, healthier
and more beautiful result
than that mirage
on our neighbor’s side?
Ah, Richard... But 'painstaking effort' denotes hard work and envy yeilds the same gain without the strain. I don't see it, but then, the grass is always green to me - even if it does resemble hay more closely now, hehe =)
