Because she nabbed herself a rich husband,
people called her a gold digger.

Sure, they were right, she did go after money
instead of looking for true love.

But I didn’t throw stones. I could understand
her desires to have comforts in life.

She came out of extreme poverty, suffered
insults as a kid because she wore cheap clothes.

Vowed to improve her station in life and was
blessed with the beauty to do it.

She reinvented herself, became like a high
society lady, and achieved her ambitions.

So, maybe I don’t like her path, but I
understand why she took it.

I just hope she didn’t get herself into
a miserable, loveless marriage.

I hope she lucked out and found
true love along with the money.
