Jealousy is Many Words

by Debi Pick Marquette

One Word: Jealousy Contest Winner 

Jealousy is evil, and is more than just one word 
There's so many emotions that will follow 
It can be vindictive, and the truth is often blurred 
The crushed soul of the innocent turns hollow.
 
Why is it so easy to repeat the very worst?
 This person may have so much on their plate
Jealousy can also mean you're needing to be first
Do not discourage anyone's good fate
 
Lee, once known for kindness, made an innocent mistake
A co-worker told lies, so she'd look bad.
Others heard the lies and wouldn't give poor Lee a break
Now Lee can't find the soft heart she once had.

The person who you envy, just may have it worse than you
Be careful with the message that you send 
Instead of wanting what is hers, share part of yourself too
Don't ever miss the chance to be a friend!
