To the coming years


As a teenager of seventeen

As the alarm clock ring

As time pass that cannot be redeem

I know that I need to be seen...

 

Out of the billions of people in this planet

Out of the zillions of galaxies uncharted

 

I, will not waste my insuficient hours

I, will not fail the peaceful era prepared for us

I, will contribute my best with all my mights

No matter conspicuous or in reticence

 

Life has just started, I shall know how to be a man

With the imminent future, remember to:

listen more; be vain no more;

smile more; be careless no more;

give more; be selfish no more;

 

What's more? YOLO.
