Love and Money

Perhaps love is like a flower
it will only open
when the time is right
some say beauty is a whore
so give her money so slight!

If you were given millions of dollars
would you turn away
someone you truly loved?
or would you refuse
no regrets, no confuse?

Maybe to an extent
one can be young
and without money
sometimes to have a woman
we need it with lot's of honey!

But if a woman
wants me just for money
I would say, "honey,
take your money and throw it high
and receive your love from the sky!"

"But if a woman wants me just for money"..That would be a hard thing for a man who is rich or for that matter for a woman who is rich to know if the person loves them or what their money and position has to offer..I have heard of people trying to find a mate by being in disguise so that the people they are dating won't know that they are wealthy..Enjoyed reading your work..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara

Excellent pen, Ken! You've expressed this so well my dear friend. When someone wants you only for your money or material things that's not true love at all. Better run with your money and leave that no good "Honey" behind. lol A 7 from me! I wish you a very lovely day! In his light! God bless you!:) D.""
