⪻Poem #41⪼

I envy the sun
With it's morning rays.

The energy it gives
That people praise.

The large wonder
Of how it stays.

So long in this world
I couldn't count with all the days.

Why does the sun
Have so many ways?

To make people happy
While here all I could do is envy.

Or so I thought;
I'm not envious by default.

I know I can't be the sun
That warm someone's day.

But I can be the light
That illuminates through the night.

Even when I'm not that bright
I know I'm alright.
