Everyone For Him Or Herself

Everyone for him or herself and it's God for us all Those wise words from my Boyhood years I do recall The one who told me that he was an old man One who was in the late twilight of his life span For fifty years that old bloke is with the dead And nothing about him now written or said Yet the words everyone for herself or himself with me does remain Old sayings such as this in memory we retain Everyone for himself or herself and God for us all from one who was old and gray His words have lived on with me I remember them today It surely is a hard old World the bigger World out there Where many do grow poorer for every new millionaire Everyone for him or herself and God for us all I remember the old man and his words I do recall.
