Friends and Money

 Friends and money, what a curious pair,

Two things we need, yet often compare,

One brings joy, the other, power and gain,

But can they coexist, or is it all in vain?

Friends, they lift us up when we fall,

They make us laugh, they hear our call,

They share our burdens, they ease our pain,

Their love and support, like sunshine after rain.

Money, it opens doors, it buys us things,

It gives us power, it can make us kings,

It can fund our dreams, our passions, our goals,

It can make life easier, help us reach new roles.

But when the two collide, things can get tough,

Friends can change, become greedy, and rough,

Money can cloud our judgment, our priorities too,

It can make us forget what really rings true.

So, what's the answer, how can we make it work?

Friends and money, can they truly coexist, not just a quirk?

Perhaps the key is balance, and a heart full of love,

To cherish our friends, and handle money with a glove.

For in the end, it's not what we have or what we gain,

But the memories we create, the moments we attain,

It's the people we share them with, the ones we call friends,

That make life worth living, until the very end.
