The Man Who Had Everything Poem by Jeremiah Crane

he had toiled all his life
from beginning to end
and in between
received all that he'd desired
the man who had everything

a beautiful wife
intelligent kids
fancy cars
big dogs
bigger house
and when he went to the grave at 52
he left
his beautiful wife
intelligent kids
fancy cars
big dogs
bigger house

yet the man who had nothing
as he lay alone in his box
he was the one
who took all that he had with him
