OVER AMBITIOUS
There I sat
Lost in thought
I muled
Over
My life's lot...
The joys
Challenges
What I have
Thus far
Achieved
And had yet
To accomplish...
Pah!
I exclaimed
I have reached
A long way
But have
A longer way
Still to go...
What am I
Gloating for?
I am grateful!
Folk around me
Climbed down
And up
In their
Doings...
Unhappy, always
Grumbling
Frowning...
Why complain
Be grumpy
Unsmiling
When they achieve
All they
Can and more
Why not be happy
With their life's
Lot?
I wondered
And asked a few
Who in
Reply shrugged
Unknowingly...
Funny, I to myself
Mumbled
That like
An overcast sky
People
Hold their breath
Wanting to
Achieve
More and more
Without thankfully
Acknowledging
All they
Have done
Til this day
By the sweat
Of their brow...
Perhaps they should
Sit and ponder
As I do
In unspoken
Gratitude!
