Little Wet leaf
I'm glad I'm not that little oak leaf squashed under people's feet on a cobbled path.
I'm glad it is not I hanging three pictures in a straight line on a bare wall.
I'm glad I'm not watching the person hanging the pictures.
I 'm glad I don't have to notice how many useless holes have been put in the wall.
I'm glad I'm not that little oak leaf out in the rain on a cobbled path.
I'm glad I am home and dry looking out at the shower squalls passing the window.
I'm glad I don't have to venture out again, now that the sun has gone.
I'm sad for that little oak leaf trampled so carelessly on a cobbled path
I'll be sad if I find the pictures are not straight and evenly placed on that wall
I'll be sad if I notice any misalignment or slightest imperfection.......
But I'll keep my mouth shut and praise His Lordship for a difficult job well done.
Better the mistakes are his rather than mine.
Edit: And do you know what? I'm GLAD I can't find fault with the result. It's perfect!
