Do you it is yours?
That thing
You hold so dear
That thing
Controls your life
A simple word
Is owned by one
But shared by all?
That thing
You cannot grasp
That thing
That Once your gone
Lingers on the lips
Of countless lovers
But is soon wiped away
By infinite others
That one thing
Given to many
Shared by all
That you will forever own
But will never be yours.
