Some will envy
Because of the car
You drive...
Same will envy
Because of the job
You have...
Some will envy
Because of the things
You own...
Some will envy
Because of the way
You carry yourself...
Some will envy
You for being you...
Most envy because
Of the lack of love
They have for themselves...
Their talents and gifts...
Their existence as a child of God...
Losing touch with God
And putting their grasp on materialistic things...
Things that will perish...
When we take our eyes off God
And place them on things
Of this world... we lose everything...
But when we focus on God
And see nothing but the cross...
The arms of our Blessed Mother
The dove which flies to guide us
And listen to the prayers prayed
By the Saints before us...
We have no room to envy...
We have no room to lust...
We have no room to lose,
But win with the heart of God.
Let us be the light
So many seek
Within the darkness
Many are lost within
Through the precious blood
Of Jesus Christ.

Amen

Mark David Grijalva Peres
