LOVE VERSUS MONEY
where am i....... and how did i get here ? Ola wondered,
as she sat up from her once new mattress, which now felt the same as sleeping on the hard floor.
she held dike her two year old son with one hand and with the other hand adjusted her worn out wrapper, which hung loosely around her waist.
she walked to the mirror but all she saw was a shadow of her old self.
she didn't like what she saw, where she was and what she has become.
her husband a handsome hardworking young man,did his best to provide for the family,
but luck wasn't smiling at him, so his best wasn't good enough.
2 years ago they were the best couple you could ever dream of, engaged and so much in love, yet
she was soon to discover that marriage was a different kind of love story and it was nothing like courtship.
despite the fact that they still loved each other, life to them was not a bed of roses
she looked at her son dike and kissed him, yet wondering if the song would have played a different tune had she married Jonson, a man whom she did not love but who was handsomely rich
instead of her husband, nkem, the poor yet hardworking guy she was so much in love with and couldn't live without.
And they lived happily/unhappily ever after..
So
love OR money, which would you rather live happily ever after with,
for me i wouldnt go for love without money neither will i go for money without love
i mean they need each other
so i always pray 'lord please give me both"
But what if you only get to choose one, you cant have both, which would you choose? Love OR Money
love from moi
I will sing!

ReplyDeletereally, whats the occasion?
uhhhh....hopefully i wont get to choose but i think you should marry someone that you will be comfortable with,your kids arent going to eat love.
ReplyDeleteI could be PC and say love but Leggy has said the realistic thing. Thanks God we can have both.
ReplyDeleteFinances or lack thereof, they say, is the number one reason for divorce. Love is great and important but love don't pay the bills nor does it put food on the table.
ReplyDelete...'no romance without finance' ain't a lie. They go hand in hand, i think.
@leggy
ReplyDeletethose were my thoughts exactly, the kids definitely wont eat love.
@ myne whitman
ReplyDeleteyeah thank God we have both, yet everybody isnt that lucky to you know have it both ways, so i guess at one point in lifes we might actually have to make that decision- love or money.
@ repressed one
"No romance without finance" ...just tell me about it and you get my vote on that anytime
sunny side...WRITING STORIES AGAIN. NOW LOVE AND MONEY. LOVE OFCOURSE.
ReplyDeleteyou are the writer lady, you are.
ReplyDeleteGod go help una...
ReplyDeleteSometimes, these discussions make us guys feel like 'means to a end'.
I'll tke a woman who loves me ANYDAY.
Wouldn't be flattered to know someone is with me because of money though
