As the hours pass, my mind grows weary.
Every night, the sunset brings me joy.
Every morning I am renewed and reborn.

I will tell how I find my perfect moments.
I walk down the street looking for a gift.

Every step counts down one less to go.
Every breath I take is closer to my last.
Now, the enjoyments of life are simple
Finally, I have wisdom and tranquility.

Perhaps, tonight, I will sleep one last time.
