Stewardship

To those who argue: Life is drifting floating away Something we can’t keep Neither Love nor happiness deep To them I’d say: Even though I borrow all I have, thus I have not Even though I have nothing at all There is no more, it is not small It is everything, while I haven’t got Preemptively some conclude: Life is lost All is worthless, nothing is mine The vault is empty, we die at any cost Stewardship would argue: Only to borrow Should not make us value sorrow As Nature shaped a life less fine
