Footprints in the Wind^sm # 2094

You, ancient of days
hold something of worth
for those who will come behind you
for those who labor beside you

You, ancient of years
don’t know what you hold
I don’t know what you hold

You, ancient of nows
must find what you hold
of worth
of worth to us
of worth to all of us living
Of worth to all of us who will live

You, ancient of thens
must invent what you hold
must invent your worth
must invent the worth of all of us living
and who will live
and who ever lived
human or beast or plant or fungal

You, ancient of theres
you know long ago to invent
meant
to find
as well as create

You, ancient of heres
invent what you hold
invent worth
invent life

Please pass it on.
