Takes Time

Yutang Lin


No matter how sincere well-wishing is,
Maturity comes not until season's right.
Thanks to experience randomly gained,
Realizing lost of childishness in review.

Comment:

Maturity of causal conditions could not be hurried;
Just leave things alone, up and down on their own.
So fortunately, through hardship one remains alive,
Looking back at past worries dissipated like smoke.
