whatever you leave
will not be lost
whatever you covet
will soon be rusted
whatever you give
can not be taken
whatever can be sold
can not be trusted
whatever you hold dear
will be released
whatever you hold tight
will be broken
whatever you see
will fade away
whatever words you know
remain unspoken
