Father - poverty is a gift <br />Ask any bird taking a rain bath <br />Son, don't make me laugh <br />There's nothing but rain <br />Poverty isn't a gift <br />There's nothing but pain <br />So, fasten your reigns <br />Ride for them riches today <br />Don't live by wages daily <br />Paid only monthly <br />Father - poverty is a gift <br />Son, nothing is ever enough <br />Just ask your mum.<br /><br />Mark Heathcote<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poverty-is-a-gift/
