Don’t you wonder what you would do if you suddenly came into possession of an unfathomable amount of money? It’s a notion that we’ve all had in one point or another but most of us tend to think of big obvious expensive things. Whilst there’s nothing wrong with wanting an easier lifestyle, here’s another perspective, beautifully written in poem form by a dear friend, Abhishek Sah Frendo…
If Lady Luck should favour me one fateful day,
With wealth beyond what words alone can truly convey,
“Not a penny for myself”, I’d firmly decree,
Generously aiding others – that is my life’s destiny.
Seeking those in need, far and wide,
With empathy and kindness, I’d stand by their side,
A Rolex or Bugatti, I’d never desire,
In helping others, my heart would catch on fire.
Champagne and luxuries, I’d gladly forgo,
You wouldn’t catch me drinking a Marilyn Monroe,
No butler, mansion, or materialistic bling for me,
Beneath the oak’s shade contended, I’d be,
No parties with celebrities, no lavish cruise,
In simpler pleasures, I’d freely choose.
My heart thrives in the genuine and true,
For my loved ones’ there’s nothing I wouldn’t do.
For the needy and suffering, my wealth would flow,
In their darkest hours, a comforting glow.
In selflessness, my spirit would soar,
Bringing hope and love, forevermore.
So, if fortune smiles, and winnings are won,
The truest riches aren’t those under the sun,
But in the love we share, our legacy’s sum,
In helping others, our souls unite as one.
Riches are but one way to forge a lasting mark,
In life’s grand symphony, let your light embark,
With wisdom’s grace, let passion take flight,
To make a difference, in the world’s endless night.
