The moaning of labour pains welcomes the birth of life again With cries of infancy the infant reigns Pitter patter of little feet as the horizon flees youth comes in with a lot of din The world is yours if you have guts to win The grey sets in, the autumn of life begins Follies of life are forgotten wisdom of years is brought in The fires of desires burn low The stream of life slows Then with bated breath one waits for the silence of death.
