For You


When I'm old and all alone,
    I leave to you all that I own.

But everything I ever had,
    Should never make a human sad.

People! Learn from my mistake,
    There are some risks you have to take.

It's more important to love whomever you choose,
    Than not to love because you might lose.

Whatever few gifts I may give,
    I give to you so you may live.

I dream for the people close to my heart,
    And for whatever loves that you may start.

So when I leave this world alone,
    Keep with you all that I own.
