Trace Back To Half-century Ago

Trace back to half-century ago,
I was a student of Valley High School.
Though now, I am  so old
That my memories  linger around a pool.

Trace back to half-century ago,
From the pictures and the videos,
I can see how foolish then and below
What I was supposed to be and where to go.

Trace back to half-century ago,
I was so young and so strong,
Facing difficulties, I didn't bow.
I was very happy and liked singing  songs.

Trace back to half-century ago,
I've been walking along the road of life for so long.
My body becomes tired, but my soul grows.
God, please lead me not to do anything wrong.
