To love when other people
feel happy in themselves
is the best bit of human
seeing other’s smiles
and feeling their confidence,
resilience, bliss or comfort rise
makes being alive make sense
The claws of jealousy,
covered in fibre-glass bristles,
can make you believe
that their gain is your loss
which is utter toss
Switch to embracing their joy
and you’ll employ your own
