FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

Take my life for what it's worth
for the sinew and blood of it
for the veins and tears of it
for the legs and love of it
for the regrets and arms of it
for the joy and tongue of it
for the pain and heart of it
for the lungs and words of it
for the years and experience of it
for the power and the teeth of it
for the moments and the memories of it
for the fingers and the touch of it
for the toes and the travel of it
for the belly and the laughter of it
for the kind and the eyes of it
for the brain and the generosity of it
for the grace and the knees of it
for what its worth
its all I have to offer
