Started Out With Nothin
You lose a little bit of something’
Somewhere along the way
Perhaps a little more, than just a little bit,
Mayhaps someone would say
A lot indeed, but did you truly need
The most of what you lost?
And did you truly want, what you finally got
And just what was the cost?
Be careful what you wish for…
So the saying goes
You might get it, and regret it
And end up paying through the nose
I yearned for a lot and that’s just what I got
And being flush, just left me flat
Now I yearn for nothing
And feel quite content because….
I started out with nothing ….
And I still got most of that!
