Song of the Violin
Time's Melody: Embracing Wisdom and Sweetness with Age
Lyrics
The last fifty years
The speaker reflects on the passing of the last fifty years.
Have seen laughter and tears
Acknowledges the mix of joy and sorrow experienced during this time.
And your hair slowly fade to gray
Describes the aging process, with hair turning gray as a visual symbol.
Your children are grown now
Notes that the speaker's children are now grown.
And it's hard to believe
Expresses disbelief at how quickly the years have passed.
How the years have just all slipped away
Reflects on the swift passage of time.
But in time you've gained a wisdom
Highlights the wisdom gained over time, contrasting with the young.
That seems to elude the young
Points out that this wisdom is elusive to the younger generation.

Each facial line tells a story of the speaker's life experiences.
