Once I graduated college
I thought I am free
Free from all the difficulty life had given
Yet, it is just the mere start of the true living
Created a family
With the one I love truly
Have two daughters inherited their mother's beauty
My dream, my family, becoming reality
Became a business prodigy
At a prestigious and well-known company
Made lots and lots of money
Time and time, I became even more happy
I realized that I am not making enough
I should make more and more
It sounds so tough
But if it is for my family, I would not stop
I focused more on my business
All my attentions and time was transfix to it
Only one wrong move being careless
And my investments will gone wasted
This is why I am being careful and consistent
Ensuring my business' betterment
To avoid losing my capital
Making myself even more radical
Established several strategies
And controlled my agonies
Gathered alliance
For the sake of finance
Investing critically
To rise up financially
Pleasured every client
With my social talent
But still, I lost
I did my best just for my business, everything
But I lost even before the war is starting
I lost the most important thing
All I care about is money
To make it steady and avoid bankruptcy
I completely forgotten my family
I am a father, husband with mediocrity
When the time they need me,
I was not even on their side
I am with the company I thrive
Being busy of making money
I should have carried my wife
I should have let her feel that she is my life
I should have hug her tightly
And say she is much more important than the money
Recall our vows better
To love her in richer or poorer
I should have played with my daughters
Made them feel a father's love
Made them feel they are much more important than any other
And I should be in their side nearer
But it is just all the things I "once" should have done
Money will always be there
But I can not take back the time when they were still here
All I care about is money
I am not a good husband and father,
But a good coward to bankruptcy.
