The LIFE in your years

Seven thousand, or seven miles…
Paved with tears and paved with smiles…

Soaring heights, arcane depths…
The road of life, beneath my steps…

This wondrous road, we travel fast…
Too little time, the scenery vast….

From, and to on others, we give and take…
This conventional pattern, we hardly break…

Along this road, we slave and save…
To leave it all for a darkened grave!…

All in all, and in the end…
Know this secret my cherished friend…

What counts in your life, is not the YEARS…
It is rather, the LIFE in your years!!!…
