The wheel was moving
But I never noticed
second counted, minutes gone,
hours died, days were numbered
weeks moved, months and years passed
I noticed it as the matter of living.

Mental pictures remind me
those days when the moments existed
Sometimes I wish to restore and start
I find the wheel moving fast following the line
Like the train on its pathway
Happy birthday takes back to those moments.

Today I am youth
Full capable to place the mind on motion
I often regret when I remember the moment
The moment when I was the driver of the wheel
But now the wheel drives, how possible?
I never drove it well and careful at the moment,
Drive the wheel careful before it drive you on its pathway.
