With Not a Dime

Footsteps take, one at a time- Began my journey with not a dime- Destination unknown, faithfully taken- Even if my death not to heaven- Glory in mind, riches I seek- The way I take not wherein is meek- Sail around the world shall find- A treasure indeed we have in mind- Kings and Queens I have with dined- My castle walls with gold I’ve lined- Alas, my journey ends by cold- I have lived long and very old- Many things wherein I’ve found- Riches, not, like your voices sweet sound- No one here to wish me peace- Rights of family I have since leased- Unto the hands of uncertain fate- Now I die in a saddened state- To never know what I would own- If desire of riches I had but thrown- -Footsteps take, one at a time- -Began my journey with not a dime-
