Time is gone and will never come back,
time urges people to understand.
Having walked through half my life,
I only gradually came to realize that gain and loss are just the norm.
No longer obsessing over everything being perfect,
no longer dwelling on past regrets.
Accept life’s imperfections,
and accept your own tiredness.
From here on, I don’t seek anything dramatic,
I only hope for inner peace—
keep my family close, and treat myself kindly.
