Theme: Inspiration, Admiring the life and journey of old people
Through the years, it grows, it wonders—
still, it asks the world what it has to offer.
A long journey it treaded, learning more there is to know.
He whom started young, ended with hair colored like snow.
Tales it shares, and some stories yet to be told;
those whom passed fire, those whom made life worth more than gold.
Their eyes that witnessed the joys, and treacherous nights.
Some have come to pass, some that lost sight.
Hands that grow weak, their skin that turns pale;
once a young soul, now the body turns frail.
Wise they are deemed for the hardships they have passed.
Old they are now, for their youth was never meant to last.
The children, they are bound to go the very same way.
To endure flaws and beauties of life until it comes to that day.
When their memories start to blur, when it's hard to withstand.
In the patch of dark hair, stood out a white strand.
