Today I noticed something ,

The skin below my chin ,

Crinkled faster on stroking ,

And was slower on firming ,

The first lines of old age

Finally made their appearance ,

Ah! there is a certain sadness ,

For, now I realise ,

I gained some experience ,

But lost a few opportunities too ,

For, now I realise ,

I have lived some years ,

But my days are numbered too ,

I gained a lot, lost a few ,

Contented in some and regretted a few ,

So I want to live more ,

But not long ,

Love more ,

For, that is the only thing ,

I want to carry along.
