Old Age

 

Successful men

Find little satisfaction

In their success,

Spending their days

Regretting they know not what.

 

Better not to try too hard,

Leave time to spare

And share with others

Days spent in watching rivers

Fall down from hills

Wreathed in grey clouds.

 

We have inherited

Five hundred million years.

That is enough

Until eternity.
