The Thief Of Joy

So many people Worldwide this thing known as success pursue

But so few do live to see their life dreams come true

So many do aspire to great wealth and fame

That theirs in the World will become a great name

With the success of others so many their own form of success compare

The competitions of comparisons has never been rare

Keeping up with the Joneses as some like to say

This is more widespread than it ever was in the Human World of today

From a wise woman i learned as a young boy

That comparisons are always the thief of joy

Than your neighbour having a bigger home or a bigger car

Does not say of the sort of person that you are

The people with what they have got satisfied

Are the people who have contentment on their side

To compare to and compete with others in them not the need

With their sort of attitude in life they are lucky indeed

In this Worldwide competition of people success

Bragging of their achievements many others do wish to impress

But comparisons are the thief of joy as a truism remain

The meaning in this it's own self does explain.
