You Can’t Take It With You When You Go

Uncle hoarded each coin like a tightwad,

counting in silence, dreaming of tomorrows.

Money saved, all joy withheld.

On his last day, breath shallow, he muttered,

You can’t take it with you when you go.

I have been a foolish man.

I nodded, pocketing his keys.

So spend it while you can, I said, walking out.

Poetry has lived in me since childhood.

Ink spills the feelings words fear to say.

My poems heal, some haunt, all are pieces of me.

Stay and read please. Like&follow me. If my poetry touches your ♥️ maybe leave a small tip
