Rich

• Kat Anderson

If I Were a rich man / woman

I wouldn’t say that I’m motivated by money an by no means am I in dire straits financially.  I’m comfortable.  I live within my means.  However, ever since I was a young girl, my dad would repeat that out of all his children, I would be rich!  Stinking Rich!  I’ve never been more upset about disappointing my dad!!  Lol!  This hasn’t come true but it’s nice to think that my dad felt I could make some money moves from a young age.

My pockets may not be filled with riches but there’s more to life, isn’t there?

Rich

 

My daddy said I would be

Rich

I’ve been waiting all my years

For that prophecy to come true

For my cash flow to stay on course

Inching ahead

Whilst I’m not paying attention

And all of a sudden, I’m flushed with cash

 

My daddy said I would be

Rich

He didn’t say when

I have been patient

I’m not opposed to riches

I won’t turn wealth away at the door

Unlike most, she could cross the threshold

And before long, we’ll be best chums popping champagne

 

My daddy said I would be

Rich

At some point I realised he was wrong

All children confront their parents’ failures

My daddy was a big talker

I almost believed him

He sure could paint a stunning picture

And in a blink of an eye he would whisk me away

 

My daddy said I would be

Rich

But he didn’t say in which currency

If he meant rich in love – I have love in abundance

If he meant rich in peace – my peace of mind is profound

If he meant rich in experiences – no doors are closed to me

If he meant rich in pursuing passions – I’ve been given the lucky straw

And I believe I have enough to give out loans

 

My daddy said I would be

Rich

And so it is

Extravagantly, flamboyantly, outrageously, fabulously

Rich
