Then Now and After

As time rolls by like the water

Springing from a fountain in the earth,

Or rapidly flowing from a waterfall

One way never to return to its source.

And so likewise as living mortals

We were destined to follow the trend.

As time rolls by from birth to death

We mold our after then from the now.

For the seeds we planted in our then

Are the fruits we are reaping now,

While we spring from our fountain birth

We are rapidly growing until to the earth we fall.

Be particularly mindful of the deeds we sow,

For if they are bitter, foul, or sweet,

In time we will live to reap and eat them.

Will they disturb our palates or caress them?

The heart that has never been broken

Is a heart, neither of stone nor of steel;

It is just a heart, which gets an ample share of love.
