Ask Someone Other Than Me

You ask what constitutes a good person why ask me when I would not know
Many look on the wealthy as successful their social status with their assets grow
But that leaves me looking a complete failure since materially for my time I don't have much for to show
Of money or of Worldly assets in the social rank I am quite low,
I too had my opportunities of being successful decades ago in my prime
Till I formed a love of language when I first fell in love with rhyme
Poems and stories told around the fire-place were things that I did enjoy
Told to me by my aunt Mary years ago in Lisnaboy,
On what goes to make a successful person no two people would agree
Though those with money and Worldly assets are seen by the majority
To be quite successful people money speaks in every tongue they say
Everything has it's price on it and it has always been this way
So when you ask what constitutes a successful person ask someone other than me
For I would be seen as a failure by the vast majority.
