In my youth, I had two dads, both so wise,
One rich, one poor, giving me different advice,
My poor dad toiled hard, but money was scarce,
My rich dad knew money was not a farce.
My poor dad taught me to get good grades,
And work hard, no matter what life throws in shades,
But my rich dad taught me to think differently,
To make money work for me, to be free.
My poor dad believed studying was the key to success,
In his mind, a job was the ultimate progress,
He couldn't see the bigger picture, the wider view,
That studying should be a tool, not a life issue.
I learned to invest, and not just save,
To make my money work, and not be a slave,
To use my mind to create passive income,
So I can live life to the fullest and never succumb.
I discovered the power of assets over liabilities,
And the value of financial stability,
I learned to take calculated risks,
And not be afraid to seek my dreams with bliss.
So if you want to be rich, don't just work hard,
Think like a rich person, and play the right card,
Invest your money, and let it grow,
And build your wealth, as your money flows.
