Sunday Rememberance

If I was a rich man I would buy up market friends Follow all the new trends Drive the latest Mercedes Benz Service myself with greed Consume more than I need But if I am honest to myself and true What I would really love to do Is buy back time Take a completely different view You see to me my biggest regret is that I realized to late The bounty of love set at my plate As the cancer took took care of that fate Familiarity breeds contempt is what he always meant And when he eventually took his breath his life finally spent It came abundantly clear what familiarity breeds contempt really meant When you show love to late your left with only crumbs on your plate For in reality a truly rich man to this will attest He has very few friends Drives a bus not a Benz Rather lived out his life to atone to amend In the hope come the day the bitter end Reading his obituary Those he loved the most loved him back the most
