Thy young mind is young and free.

Thy young body is strong and healthy.

But thy young mind wishes to get older,

Thy wish is to get wiser.

But does thou know the wish when thou does get older?

Oh ye elders!

How wonderful is it to be older?

Thou hast seen and heard much.

Thou has more knowledge and wisdom then before.

But thy wise mind knows,

Your body is sour and old.

Dost thou remember thy wishes when you were younger?

Woe to he who does not favor his age.

Woe to he who does not enjoy his present.

Lucky is he who loves the life he lives.

Lucky is he who does not complain.
