"You Never Have It" by Joe DiMino.

You never have it
Till you give it all away

To receive all
There must be all space—
And there lies the rub
Of Ancient-Err—
The Selective-nature
Always with prospect
Of airborne falling;
When we choose
We ultimately loose;

One must be empty
To be filled;
Or else, partial new
With partial old—
The best is never kept behind
By the best,
But joyfully given—
And anything less
Will only leave
Space for refilling
Of partial best;

We never have it
Till we give it all away—

True—to do such thing
First you must own it—

And then own
Only yourself

Entirely—
