All I Leave, Is My Name

All I leave, is my name

And then one day, I’ll be out of time
For me the sun will no more shine
What I gathered was all in vain
All I leave is just my name

From what I guarded and held so dear
In my new live, away I’ll steer
I will look back, no remorse nor shame
What I leave is good, it is my name

Brilliant write, Wikus. Nothing worth more than a good name.
