As a child, I had but one desire:
To no longer be a child.
When I became a teen, my desire shifted:
To no longer be immature.
When I matured, once again my desire changed:
To no longer be alone.
When I married, my desire changed again:
To no longer be so old.
When I outlived my partner, my desire changed yet once more:
To no longer be.
From birth 'until death do us part;'
Man is never satisfied.
His life is filled with desires
Yet often what he really wants,
is to go back to the days
when nobody looked up to him,
when he supported nobody,
when he was:
Young.
