If I Was Rich

by Jeffrey Parren

If I was rich
I'd give you the finer things
and

If I was rich
I'd give you that diamond ring
and

If I was rich
Your debts would be history
and

If I was rich
Your debt wouldn't be to me
and

If I was rich
I'd own that house you've always dreamed
and

If I was rich
I'd own everything and anything and in between
and

If I was rich
You needn't feel bad when I offered help
and

If I was rich
You needn't offer a thank you, nor a yelp
and

If I was rich
That dream we do would be in full swing
and

If I was rich
That dream we do our known life's calling
and

If I was rich
You'd still love me all the same
and

If I was rich
You'd still call out for my name
and

If I was rich
I know I would still be yours
and

If I was rich
I know I'd still open doors
and

If I was rich
I'd get us out of this place
and

If I was rich
I'd rid us of that rat race
and

If only I was rich
I'd be the happiest man alive
Only because you were mine
And all our worries long gone
We could just love one another anon
Without the pressures of it all
And start that family this coming fall.

Author's Note: ((And yes I agree if you think the repetition is a bit much but I just got out of work and was just feeling the flow)) I know I am not rich of wallet, but I am rich of heart and desire. My desire is to make big moves and soon, and rid us of those silly little things that slow our progress, like debt, and so on... Money is not the answer, though it is the roadblock sometimes...

if the only struggle you and your beloved have is money, then you are truly blessed. money doesn't make things better....standing together and working together makes all things possible.
