Envy (Challenge)

Sara is a public speaker. John is really smart.
Lisa has a pretty smile. Tom makes perfect art.
Jordan can play soccer. Marie can really blow.
Kyle can make an igloo out of twigs, canvas, and snow.
Why can’t I do things like that?
Why can’t I just shine?
I just wish that all their skills and all their gifts were mine.
It’s not fair that I can’t have.
I don’t have a gift.
I’m not smart, strong, or witty.
I’m not even swift.
I wish I could do the things they do.
I wish that I had something good.
I wish I had gifts like them. I really wish I could.
