I can’t help feeling cheated
I am green with envy too
Seeing others having fun
When I have nothing to do

Those beautiful photographs
They are everywhere I look
On the news, in the paper
Images shared on Facebook 

Those pretty, perfect pictures
Those scenes broadcast on TV 
They feel like another world
They are alien to me 

This week I have been blessed
With sunny days and skies of blue
Why do I feel so sad
My confession is here for you

I am a green eyed monster
I see faces all aglow
I see snowflakes and snowmen
I see fluffy, pure white snow

During these pandemic times
Simple things bring us pleasure
No snow for me, the reason
I’m jealous beyond measure
