Cycle

When do the dreams of young boys
Turn to the memories of old men

When does time moving so slow
Turn to time moving so fast

When does anticipation
Turn to just regrets

When does the sweet smile of youth
Turn to the face of senility

When does the innocence of firsts
Turn to the acceptance of lasts

When do the loves and desires of boys
Turn to the wants and hopes of men

When does growing up
Turn to growing old

When do the memories of old men
Turn to the dreams of young boys
