Silver Sheaths and Gems Are Not Listed Needs
Silver Sheaths And Gems Are Not Listed Needs
Promise not, which hand and mind can not deliver
silver sheaths and gems are not listed needs.
This world and poor in life loves a cheerful giver,
red blood flows freely whenever one bleeds!
Should you promise, your heartfelt and dearest of dreams
what on earth more, could any man dare ask?
Life and Love are not clever little mortal schemes
one profits nothing wearing a false mask!
Can you see wisdom in this, holding out for more
with hope and kindness as your saving keys?
Beach-sand is not better on distant foreign shores
neither is, living life of begging please!
Walk with a giving soul, happiness there abides
With greater wisdom one can in peaceful, soft-strides!
