My Legacy

I cannot give you warmth my little one
Cannot give you comfort
I cannot give you safety
Cannot give you stability
I cannot give you freedom from desire
Cannot give you a life without pain
I cannot give you love, my darling
Cannot give you a life worth living
All I can give you, my love, is my voice
My poems, my lyrics, my songs
All I can give you is music, my dear
Let my music be your salvation.

thank you for such a good poem.A beautiful thought is such a precious thing to have, to dwell upon, to sleep on. A good turn over, Sir...inspirational, as usual. Maybe we should put it to music...will ask tats.

A bit off the ordinary track! I expected the usual I cannot give you ........., etc followed by @All I can give you is love@. That would have been cliched; but you surprised me! Good work! And try to get in touch. Miss our tete tetes. kc
