See this hands son of man

They were once so smooth and soft,

So gentle and serene

But today they are rough as the sand.

See this face son of man

It was once handsome and good looking,

But today it is so pale and small

Struggles and hardships played it part so well.

See this body son of man

It was once so big with a big belly,

But today it can’t even fight the wind,

Those who came before me did tell

Though in my ears it rang and sounded like a fairy tale,

See this pain son of man

It is made by struggles and hardships of life.
