I Only Want To Give You
I only want to give you
everything you have.
that if you're rich with money
then more would serve to salve.
and if you're poor; not privy
that money would mean more
Your soul would still need comfort
and I would keep from horror.
If you should be successful
A spirit flinging wild
To smile upon your vessel
would serve your inner child.
But if you be a failure
to waste in peoples eyes
I'd turn my head away
while you would learn to rise.
and if you seem the happy
I'd long for us to meet
For me just being lucky
is friends come out to greet.
But if you seem unhappy
You're spirit going dim
Then I will share discomfort
in words leading to him.
