Life is music,

Comprising high notes,

And low notes.

The sweetness of your song,

Depends on the energy you burn.

Life is music,

The best of her songs,

Are sang by the youth

When his strength can still lead him.

Life is a journey,

Whose beginning we know,

But the end we know not.

Only the wise,

Can pass through her road.

Life is a journey,

The road is narrow and stony

Only the courageous,

Make it to the end.

Life is a journey,

Full of sorrow and adversity.

The inhabitants of the land,

Are the greatest undoing of the land.

Life is a book,

So voluminous and crafty.

The sheets are made of gold,

The pages are written in mud.

When it’s easy to read,

It’s hard to understand.

When it’s easy to understand,

It’s hard to apply.

But only the patient can read it.

Only the wise can understand it.

Only the disciplined can apply it.

Great is the book of life.
