Each passing day
takes away 0.005% of my lifetime
and each passing day
takes away 0.01% of my remaining lifetime

what I am left up with
could be a few thousand days
and only one life for me
to live the life of my liking

let me not worry for things
which is beyond my control
and let me try to do things
that I love to do
with a positive attitude
and which benefits the world at large

with a strong mind
and a brave heart
from this day
and from this moment...
