With you I soared to heights above,
Through you I saw both good and bad of man,
The true face of life revealed to me,
I lived it with you, I saw it with you.
At times I walked the path of hardship,
At times I was amazed by my own fortune.
I blossomed, I opened, I laughed in brightness,
And told it all to you, described it all.
My fortune is with you, my happiness too,
It all entered smiling, I laughed with it.
Today no pen could capture its worth—
My greatness, my dearest, has come with you.
I dedicate to you the finest of lines,
My joy is with you, my life is with you.
I was no child, yet like a child I became,
With you I learned what it means to live.
Never before was my 18th spring like this,
I’ll never regret the years that have passed.
Till you, I never knew the taste of fortune—
Oh, don’t take it away, my 18 years.
