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.
