Youth is spring, fresh and bright,
Old age autumn, a gentle twilight.
One blooms with vigor and dream,
The other reflects with a mellow gleam.

Youth is a fountain, sprightly and clear,
Old age a stream, serene and dear.
One rushes forward, eager to grow,
The other meanders, steady and slow.

Youth is a bud, ready to burst,
Old age a bloom, quenched of thirst.
One seeks new heights, reaching the sky,
The other finds peace, a contented sigh.

Youth is a blossom, fresh and new,
Old age is wisdom, a seasoned view.
One bursts forth in radiant spring,
The other reflects, a sage king.
In their dance, life's circle complete,
Each stage unique, bittersweet.

Youth is vigor, a fiery spark,
Old age is experience, a deep mark.
One explores with boundless zest,
The other knows, life's true test.
Together they write life's tale,
From morning's light to evening's pale.

Youth, a spring with blossoms bright,
Old age, autumn's fading light.
Youth with vigor, dreams untold,
Old age, wisdom's gentle hold.

Old age finds calm in life's repeat.
Both together, life complete,
In their flow, time's heartbeat.
