PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

However many years a man may live,

let him enjoy them all.

But let him remember the days of darkness,

for they will be many.

Everything to come is meaningless.



Be happy, young man, while you are young,

and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.

Follow the ways of your heart

and whatever your eyes see,

but know that for all these things

God will bring you to judgment.



So then, banish anxiety from your heart

and cast off the troubles of your body,

for youth and vigor are meaningless.
