One Golden Coin Lost
The best love you ever had
Was worth every risk you made;
But then you took that love for granted
And lost it with one wayward gaze:
Drawn away by the praises of silly women,
Who had never smelt your malodorous breath,
Who had some inflated ideas
Of your wisdom and of your wealth.
But the one who knew you at your worse
And yet saw you at your best
Is the one you lost
While you were trying to hold on to the rest.
One golden coin is lost.
The question now is, “what will you do”?
Seek not an answer from any other;
To your own heart you must be true.
