you are you, a wonderful you

is the rainbow jealous of the ocean’s grandeur?
do the trees judge each other?
does the sparrow mock the robin’s song?

does the rose think the daisy foolish?
does the sun envy the moon’s glow?
does the sky not share with the brilliant stars?
you need not long to be another,
you are you, a wonderful you.
