I’d rather have wealth that is not too much <br />Than to be truly rich who can’t sleep at night <br /> <br />I’d rather have one best friend who stayed <br />Than to have many and left betrayed <br /> <br />I’d rather own simple things and have a humble life <br />Than to be luxurious but drowned in debts and credit cards <br /> <br />I’d rather be who I am and feel lucky <br />Than to be pretty through cosmetic surgery <br /> <br />I’d rather be a well-guided child <br />Than to be old but can’t be a guide <br /> <br />I’d rather be all alone and right <br />Than to be with them with no peace at heart <br /> <br />I’d rather try yet get no fame <br />Than to do nothing because of shame<br /><br />Diana Rose<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-d-rather-8/
