It Was Like Yesterday

If only Adam and Eve were still here There 'd be no need pondering over it indeed One will die whether you 're afraid or intrepid No matter how long we live grey hair Leaving wombs for graves is the whole idea The old dying is no misdeed Memories of past of this old woman are vivid Her grey hair hugs obituary,all humans' affair It's still like yesterday regardless of longevity In the mirror,she smiled at her wrinkles She sees all what did years back in memory As if they happened fast in few eye twinkles Rest in peace is written all over face already Shortly,yesterday's nephews are now uncles
