What to take with me

I shall not take much to the grave when
and I shall not think too much about,
a hopeless battle is the one where
immortality can’t win. I shall not take much
but I hope to leave a lot behind.

A footstep in the sand just stays a second
and I shall not think too much about
what I’ve accomplished is so little. I shall
just take with what I came. No more.
But I hope to leave a lot behind.
