Riches

Whenever you want to know

How rich you really are

Count the number of friends

Who still think you are a ‘Star’

Wealth may come and go

But friends who really care

Will stand through thick and thin –

A scene that’s now so rare

So hold on to them tight

And forgive whenever they fight

Try to keep them close

Confide in them your woes

When fair-weather friends latch on

And  bowl you over by flattery

Do not ignore the old

And leave them in the cold

May we be blessed by friends

Who support us through thick and thin

For if you have these treasures

Then Life’s battles you will win
