  1. Nice to be young …
    Nice to get old…
    If you enjoyed each age
    Had a real love
    You lived a century…and hence
    You filled your life
    With grace and gold…
    I call you “Lucky Vartabed”
    Because you have old things and very old…
    You kept and enjoyed still using all
    None of them genocided in the desert of Der zor…
    Till you called your self old…
    I can see you, you’re still young
    Holding your old camera with your powerful hands
    As if she is your true beloved
    Still watching the sea …
    Watching the flying birds arriving from many sites
    Enjoying to shot them with your old light gun…
    Enjoy your life and never feel old
    The old man is defined
    Who never contribute
    To his community
    But you!…No…
    You did a lot…
    We can see and wish to you
    To do more and mores…!
