    Three Faces of Mortality

     I saw a face of mortality
    The faces of years gone by
    I saw the face of yesteryear and realized how soon I will die.

    I saw a face of mortality
    This face was of the present.
    How soon each moment passes us especially if we're not in it.

    I saw the face of tomorrow too.
    And that was best of all
    Furutre's face contains all three
    For its my son's, can't you see?
