Poetic Verses

Remember the Old

As little children  we could not understand  how people age
Seeing them deteriorate and get weaker in a stage
But those a bit older  pretend not to  or want to understand
That  is life's process and progress and  happen to every  man

Remember that their movement would not be like you own
They were one like that but have slowed because time has flown
See that and make preparation  both physically and mentally that someday
That those some  pattern and  also attribute you may display,

It hurts when I hear you people so  disparagingly  bold
Telling a person to go away , you  not young but  old
Never taking time to listen  or engage in any form of conversation
Or try to draw from that bank of experience in that tower of information

Always find time to visit and  take for some drive  somewhere
Do not think that those deeds will be would have passed unaware
Remember that treatment you  handed out to your elderly
Your children may  mete out to you  quite readily

There is a tendency among some people who have no remorse
Appearing to look after their elderly because of that revenue source
To all eyes pretend to be so loving and  shower all that attention
Because they bring in that added income in the form of a pension

Yes I know some children because of work have no other solution
But to put them belatedly into elderly home or institution
Being as it may always find make a form of resolution
To find time to visit and engage in  some topical conversation.

And to those institution do not think that they are useless
Some of them still have those talents  at which they were blessed
Use that talent and  even have some form of  exhibition
That can have  very impact on the  life and the  reputation of the institution

And children at them never get mad, or say they are stubborn
It is very devastating when  one   pride has been undone
Perhaps a few month prior, you were independent and your affairs could manage
Now being forced to be dependent can do some psychological damage.

Always see them as the most invaluable and  very precious gems
And be very happy if you were happy to have the two of them
Look at them and see they joys that  they history  their lives bought
And to no  hesitate to share that will you offspring it is such a wonderful thought.
