Years

An old man once told me..

Son, years may come and go 
with many happy and sad moments
Sometimes, something happens, 
Which hit us to the bottom of our heart
Some may even change our lives - may be happy or sad

But remember if you are happy, 
Try to spread your sunshine around
And if sad days come,
Don't despair, happy days are not far behind
Dark clouds cannot hide the sun forever

Forget the sad events
Walk on along the road of life
But do not altogether discard the past-
Learn from them.
Only a fool makes the same mistake

Well, now the old man is no longer with us
But the words he said,
will remain forever with me.
