My old age was told, stop!

SAMI MULAJ 

MY OLD AGE WAS TOLD, STOP!

It’s my two grandsons
Who came into this world,
And halted my old age, beginning for me
A new world.

No one dares to touch the sun,
Only to gaze at it.

When you become a grandfather,
Only then do you understand
That you’ve touched the sun.

Each new day that begins,
The sun shines for you.
