Story of my life
I’ve begun to write
You, my dearest friends
I pledge are my witnesses
May the Almighty give me
Patience and courage to lay
Simple plain facts of my life

Upon whom I had so much trust
A happy peaceful childhood
Uneventful till my early teens
When like most youngsters
Found myself in love
