4- The Voice Of Wisdom

My back is not as strong now; I am old I am aging fast and my hair is gray My face is all wrinkled and dark as gold My ears are quiet and my eyes can't obey ..

All of my hands and legs can't stop shaking Can't move as fast as everybody And while I'm walking my back is aching Oh! Little soul will you stay in my body?

I remember, I used to run faster From one place to another I went Looking for knowledge and something to master And each birth of my kids was an event ..

All over the world, wise people I met From whom I learned great things about life And shared all things I had in my chest Never dug in someone's back any knife ..

I've planted many seeds in my land They've grown to be beautiful trees With lots of fruits watered with my own hand Sold in local markets and overseas ..

My kids as big birds.. now they know how to fly They sing my name to every place they go I see each one of them high in the sky They are my pride, like stars they glow..

With my feathers I wrote a wise book I've shared my knowledge with learners I've baked my bread as a great cook To calm the hunger of many screamers ..

Now with a peaceful mind I can leave To my last destination, my first cradle Recall this old guy from whom you receive Great wisdom and light him a big candle
