Walk Softly Live Gently

If you wander don’t worry you’re not lost

your irresistible glance….

With your irresistible glance,
you captured my heart and soul.

Having robbed me of those,
take away my name and accomplishments too.

If any trace of me remains in this world,
please, don’t delay — take that too.
