Everything

We greet the world with nothing

No credit to spend nor share

Penniless until we change

The world from our first word

Each action to each consequence

Decisions to afford,

That we earn from the premiere

And charge it to our thoughts.

Now you arrived with nothing

Donated a lifetime more

Made factories from man-made tools

Made morals out of hellish roots.

If you leave us with something

Know that you changed our minds

Stopped us in our tunnel vision

Made us change our tracks.

I look on to see the light

To give and not to get

To seize the opportunities

To love and not regret.

Accumilation falls in debt

On what I so far have not spent

On every healthy heart and soul

Funds to burn and minds to turn

But I will spend your legacy

The softly spoken words to me

Will pass my lips

Will leave my pen

Will render another thousand men!

You're not gone when you're with me

Or with your soulmate,

Left on Earth

Or each one with a memory

To all of those who confirm your worth.

You left the world with everything

No relevence has time

40 years of spending

From your very first of words

No credit left to burn now

Yet many a mind to turn

The Job's left with the living

To spend and not return.
