When people are young,
Love is like ice- cream,
They think it’s so sweet,
“Love” is the whole world to them.
When people get married,
They feel how burdensome a family life is,
Resent each other, fights begin,
“Freedom” is the whole world to them.
Now, they’re old, weak and have nothing,
Left alone by their very own children,
They shed tears, stare at walls,
“Contentment” is the whole world to them.
