Born with a silver spoon,
callous, cavalier attitude
defined his personality,
life, was sinful vulgar indulgence.
Until
one incident radically transformed him.
Today,
he lives with his master in the distant hills
donating all his riches,
a new identity, pens the next chapter,
gives renewed meaning to life
the debris of the past buried,
his soul brims with contentment
experiences abundance of spiritual wealth.

I really like this message. It’s never too late to grow, to change. As long as you have time you can move onto a “new chapter”.
