In our youth –
All the time in the world.
In our middle age –
I still have lots of time.
In our old age –
Dead soon. Time is running out.

Very good capture of the phases of time. It must remind one of the Sphynx’s riddle to Oedipus. However, I would have added the “time” when spend before being born.
Thank you, Elena!
