Family Over Friendship

I know it’s imminent.
Our business is not picking.
I’ve got three children in college.
My financial woes are filing up.

I tried to shift to other career.
Twice I was requested to hold on.
Friendship prevailed. I stayed.
My kids have stopped schooling.

I prayed hard. I must leave.
For the future of my dear family
Business is at hands with friends.
Abroad I must work. It’s a necessity.

With celestial favor, I am now in Jeddah.
Fighting the pains of being away from home
But I know why I am here. I can survive.
Family triumphs over friendship.
