Final Ending
Yutang Lin
Prosperity rarely lasts long in the world;
Success on hand could vanish in a blink.
How finale will turn out is hard to guess;
Reflect on behavior to follow conscience.
Comment:
Prosperity and decline cycle without intermission;
Illness, senility and death could hardly be avoided.
Mindfully reflect on daily conducts and intentions;
Endeavor to offer warmth to console worldly pain.
