What Can I Give

What can I give when I am broke 
To he whose words inspired?
For the little ember that he stoked 
I’d give him all my fire 

What can I give when I am poor
To he who set me free?
For each and every open door 
I’d give an endless sea

What can I give when I have nil
To he who left too soon?
For knowing that he’s with me still
I’d give the very moon

What can I give of any worth
To he who gave me love?
For all the riches on this earth
Could never be enough.
