The wealthiest man I ever knew <br />With whom there was true friendship, <br />Who counted diamonds as us lesser folk would dust, <br />Said with true sadness in the only negative emotion he ever shared, <br />Over those memorable and gracious lunch occassions, <br />'Your children grow up so quickly.' <br />How correct he was and is. <br /> <br /> <br />P.P.S. (Post Poem Statement) <br />These words are dedicated to the memory of Douglas Cooper.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wisdom-of-a-wealthy-man/
