Everyone has their dreams, <br />always hoping one day <br />those dreams will come true <br />and I am no exception. <br />My dream was to become rich and famous <br />and some of my dream has come true. <br />I am rich beyond compare, <br />but not in money, oh no. <br />Richer than that by far. <br />I am rich with friends <br />that spread around the world <br />that I have adopted them into my family. <br />I guess I’m almost famous <br />as my work is read around the world. <br />Though fame doesn’t bother me anymore, <br />it is the richness of my friendships <br />I hold close to my heart. <br />No amount of money can make me richer <br />than what I am now, <br />rich with caring friends. <br /> <br />11 April 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rich-beyond-compare/
