Analysis of Your Remaining Years
Kindly use remaining years
before your next formation
Find reasons for any cheers
and give your life sensation
Wholly use remaining years
before your next transfixion
Find reasons for any cheers
and give your life conviction
Purely use remaining years
before your next narration
Find reasons for any cheers
and give your life gustation
Gently use remaining years
before your next transition
Find reasons for any cheers
and give your life ambition
Wisely use remaining years
before your next admission
Find reasons for any cheers
and give your life cognition
Gladly use remaining years
before your next dimension
Find reasons for any cheers
and give your life extension
