Working my way through life's
karma
, I've reached the age of
ninety
;
Old
,
sick
, going to
ruin
- but still
in one piece
!
In
human
life,
how many make it
to their
eighties
or
nineties
?
In one
life
, I've seen
five
generation
s, great and
great-great grandchildren
!
Let's just say tomorrow will be like yesterday
;
Who would
claim
that "a year added equal to one year deducted from life"?
One after the other, the
plum blossoms
fill my
eyes
with
spring
;
How can we allow sadness here
, around the
wine jar
?
