The Grass is Greener

I found this poem somewhere and it just made me think as I thought it was lovely ,sad also! I dont know who it is by originally though as it had Author Unknown.


What if the grass is greener on the other side,
because its always raining there.
Where the ones who never fail to give, hardly
have enough to spare.
When the people with the broadest smiles,
have pillows filled with tears.
And the bravest ones you've ever known,
are crippled by their fears.
It's filled with lonely people, but they are never
seen alone. Where those who lack real shelter,
make you feel the most at home. Maybe their
grass looks greener because they've painted on
it's hue. Just remember from the otherside,
you grass looks greener to.

Yes it's lovely. Ernest Hemingway wrote it according to Google.

Re: The Grass is Greener

Seems a tad depressing to me and I should know being an expert poem writer. Whoever wrote it needs to lighten up.
