The gems of life are all around,
With an open mind can be found.
For mankind, world is an open door,
In so many ways, one can score.

Three is more to living, than dying,
As life’s riches, man is buying.
Whether rich or poor, it matters not.
It’s what from life is being sought.

First peace of mind, one should achieve,
Over mere trifles, never grieve.
Why seek glitter when there is gold,
Serenity in time, can enfold.

Let not greed of man, you inspire,
Nor catch you, with evil desire.
Enjoy all of life, while you may,
Be it at work, or at play.

Why strive for riches and power role,
Strife and worry can rot your soul.
Only life’s best one should court,
As life for man is so short.

Oh to be young once more,
I’d be thrilled to the core.
Once more to feel my oats,
Frisky as a young shoats.

Without a care in the world,
Challenge to the world, hurled.
With no sense of responsibility,
With great lack of sensibility.

When young one’s broke.
Life is humorous, a joke.
Then it’s the time for romancing,
Dining out and nightly dancing.

Meet each day without a thought,
Nothing serious was ever sought.
Did all things that were the style,
Too much fun to walk down the aisle.

Those were the real good old days.
Enjoyed life, in various ways.
Life then had so much in store,
Oh to be young once more.
