Wealthy Poem by Randy McClave

I didn't want to be wealthy while I am young
I wanted to be wealthy when I'm old and gray,
That way I don't have to save and save and save
And I won’t have to put money away until a rainy day.
The money I have I will spend it the way that I want
The rainy day has come and I am enjoying the rain,
As my future is now and my youth has passed
Now I spend and I buy what I want and I never will complain.

I didn’t want to be wealthy when I was young
I don’t want to be wealthy yesterday,
Being wealthy I would rather be as an older person
That way I would know I wouldn't throw my money away.
I won’t need to worry about the finances for my future
Spending and wasting money I wouldn't raise an eyebrow,
Enjoying my life and not worrying and wasting my money
I could do it worry less because I am old and gray now.

I didn't want to be wealthy when I was young
Being wealthy and smart comes with the knowledge of age,
When we were young we are used and tempted with cash
But, when we are older we won’t work or make a weekly wage.
I will then have no worries or no debts or any bills
Those are the memories and nightmares of a youths past,
I will be older and excited as looking for my golden years
Being wealthy when I am older, I am an enthusiast.

I didn't want to be wealthy while I was young
I just want to be wealthy in the twilight of my life,
My running around and spending will already be finished
And so will be my worries of the youths strife.
I will be ready to enjoy my new found wealth
But, only if they give it to me while I am old and gray,
Then I will be levelheaded with my finances and thoughts
I then will not curse my youth, from the money that I threw away.
