If I Were Famous

If I were famous what would I do,                                                                                                                      I would send some friends a thousand or two.                                                             Family I would pay your bills off,                                                                         I would not even cough.                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       If I were famous what would I do,                                                                     I would pray it would not make me blue.                                                                                                          Many lives have been ruined,                                                                         
many have been left marooned.                                                                            
                                                                                                                  
If I were famous what would I do,                                                                        
for myself I must be true.                                                                             
I just want health and peace,                                                                           my prayers to God will not cease.

Each time with a prayer to God to win so I can help others. One day in His timing.

Hello Paula … I believe fortune and fame are best in your dreams. Health and family give a better well being. You are right; helping out others is so rewarding - thank you Paula - Lindsay

Loved this one. Last para especially touched me. If I were in your place, I would do the same. Help others for my wants are limited. Have a great day ahead friend. Take care, Rama
