Wait For Me by Richard Lamoureux

Wait For Me

You wish to possess me I am the embodiment of your dreams Yet I remain elusive I tease you I allow you to hold me but not for long The smell of me intoxicates you You work night and day and still I am not yours I am promised to another Others are living their dreams Why are you left in poverty? You are told I can not bring health or happiness. It feels like a lie. Wait for me I will fill your pockets one day Honest work does pay If you have patience I will not run away Do not sacrifice to much in the pursuit of me You need less of me than you imagine I am but one gift that you will receive. First attempt at personification, hopefully I got it right.

Oh! I first that it was going to be some juicy romantic piece. As for money...you now what the Good Book says....It is the root of all evil. Ok...I just want a leaf or two! ;) Great personification.

This is an awesome personification poem, especially considering it's your first!! I've never seen anything written from the perspective of money. A very creative write. And to answer your question - If I had received advice from my future self at the age of sixteen, I probably would have rolled my eyes and done the exact opposite :)

I probably would have done the same. Thanks for your kind comments on my poem.
