1. Sixty passed and the old man a child
I'm still learning in the schools of life

2. Sixty passed, ignorance still
Whenever I try to hide it, it uncovers its cover

3. Sixty passed, my mind hasn't ignited
Whenever its sparks ignite, my time extinguishes it

4. Sixty passed, my path isn't complete
Standing at its beginning, contemplating its length

5. I turn back and time pushes me hurried
I haven't finished yesterday and tomorrow is already old

6. Each day I say tomorrow holds hope
And when tomorrow comes, I hope for what's after it

7. I raise my expectations if my luck declines
And pick the bottom that no one has reached before me

8. I didn't seek boilers out of shame
Ashamed of one who can afford goodness yet disobeys

9. The years are poems and the poet an example
Understood by one who sees with intellect and reads it

10. I write the days in my poetry flirting
Each verse lived a life in my life
