Lord Byron, the famous author and poet, who spent his life in pursuit of pleasure, wrote on his last birthday -
My days are in the yellow leaf,
The flowers and fruits of life are gone,
The worm, the canker and the grief
Are mine alone.
How different the experience of the redeemed of the Lord, who love His name and seek to live for Him down here, as described in Psalm 92:12,14:
"The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. They shall bring forth fruit in old age."
