What You Don’t Remember

We vigorously remember what we do not have forgetting what we have.

You often cry foul,

and say I didn’t get,

what I should have

Got.

I must have money.

Then you remember

you have less property.

Then you think, your

partner is less than the best.

You call yourself less fortunate

for all that you don’t have.

You forget you had loving

parents, now a caring partner,

lovely home and you live in

a safe place and have a meaningful

job that pays you well.

To be happier, think of what you have,

and do not cry about what you don’t.
