Enough
You always want what you don’t have
once you have it you want more
then you see what someone else has
now what you have is just a bore.
You always want the things that they have
but once you have them it’s no good
because by then they’ll have the next thing
maybe what you have is what you should.
You could enjoy it while you have it
you know that life just ain’t that tough
because we only go around once
accepting what you have might be enough.

Very good closing Bekkie! Yes, one is to accept and be thankful of what’s at hand and be always in control. Others will just fall into place. Otherwise one gets distracted without achieving much!

Exactly… the green seems always greener with a fence between… If we could just enjoy it while it lasts.

I saw someplace that the secret to happiness is wanting what you have. That’s exactly what you’ve said here, too! (No worries about the older poem. As you pointed out, i did not say NEW, and i knew I didn’t.)
