A poem about aging.

Youth,

rebellious and courageous

tasted her young years

to her fullest pleasure.

Nonetheless, growing year by year,

she never stopped dreaming

unfettered dreams.

Even though she stumbled many times

over misfortune and sorrows,

passionately she kept

chasing the unfeasible.

The time flowed like

crisp, fresh water

and youth still young at heart,

but wise in mind,

remembered:

Life is like a little daughter,

feed it with love and glee

and it will always be

your magical well

of youth.
