How much is enough ?

I sat with an empty jar
Checking on the year by gone
being me nowhere at par
with those who were way ahead
at everything that meets the eye
their accolades, happiness, cheer
worth the envy oh my my
a perfect body, swollen bank accounts, no family woes ?
I sulked for quite a while
But then l thought to compile
Counted blessings that I have
A cosy room, a coffee, and few smiles
The text, the phone calls, the wishes umpteen
I put on the coloured papers and dropped in
To my surprise Soon the jar was full in no time
Then I inked a poem that dint perfectly rhyme
Not caring for best picture for the likes and comments
From the virtual world that sublimes
I want to count my happiness in people around me not YEARS!!
