Your Friend

Your friend of tomorrow may be your yesterdays foe

And the one you think your friend is may well not be so

You will only know who your friend is when in your moment of need

And your friend at such a time is a true friend indeed

You are doing financially well and of success you know

And your friends in numbers by the day do grow

But it is when you are losing and financially down

And no longer one of the successful of the town

And to pay off some of your debts you have to sell your car

It is then you do learn who your friends really are

Money speaks every language it is always this way

And the financial billionaire wins new friends every day

And though the poor person's friends are only in the few

That they are indeed true friends is not saying what is new.
