Buy Me Love
3 May, 2006
Author: Ben Franklin
Born into a family
without much Love,
without much money
Mum would never allow me to call her
Mummy.
She would tell me regularly
that if I was not born we would be financially
better off,
but she was a bitter woman
so I never answered her back
as I knew it would violently set her
off.
Dad left when I was two,
role model planted his seed and just
flew.
I promised I would make it
and financially look after my bitter mother,
then maybe there would be no more cruel words
thrown at me to make me suffer.
I followed the bright lights
of London town
to pursue my dream of producing sound.
After Ten years of the daily grind
I finally found that place I was trying to
find.
I signed A deal
and got alot of money in adavance,
someone had seen my potential and took
a chance.
I went to visit Mum,
and told her I had bought her a new home,
she told me that for the past ten years
I had neglected her
and for me to leave her alone.
I was told the grass is greener
when you finally get green,
it can buy you things that you only thought
about in your wildest dreams,
I guess having money is not as important as
it seems.

Money cant buy Love. |

Truth is the quality of my relationships with other people have always been the real "riches" in my life. U'll never know how much I needed to read these words rite about now. Thanks :) |
