The Old Wise Man

Not long ago, I met an old man Life is hard and easy, go with it Take it or leave it, said the old man Take it or leave it, one can understand I recall the old man who said it Life can be rough and soft too when you stand Having a hard life, one can take The old man said, keep it or leave it Living for life, one may not make Having a soft life, not rough at all Said the old man, continue with it Adjust your time, not the actual time that fall If I go back, past will never return The old man said, contemplate on it If I look back, people are already in the urn I wish to meet the old man again before I go Take it or leave it, and live with it The old man said, not long ago I'll always remember the old man, wherever I go
