Everyone deserves a silver spoon, no matter their station in life.

I have this tarnished silver spoon
given to me by an old friend.
She sang a different, lively tune.
I wanted to be in the trend.

It's nothing to do with money,
but all according to the heart.
Your destination is sunny.
Just treat people well from the start.

She spoke of manifesting dreams,
a gorgeous home her special goal.
In my notebook she drew their themes,
and related her deepest soul.

The silver spoon I do still hold.
Her keen advice was usable.
Her heart was made of priceless gold.
I saw my friend as beautiful.

I later learned that all the while
she had been living in her car.
I didn't know, but that's her style.
Her reputation wasn't marred.

"Ev'one deserves a silver spoon,
even if they don't come from wealth."
Plant love seeds in their heart's lagoon,
and do it with the utmost stealth.
