The eyesight fades becomes weak Walking, climbing need aid of stick The hearing impaired with substantial loss Wrinkles and grey hair are an old age across Various problems arise with health Most have fortunately accumulated wealth Visits to doctors hospital are now on the rise Forgetting ,misplacing is endless no surprise In advancing age ears need aid and care Loud sounds, even music can't bare Visits of friends , family and others are rare No demand and requests your company to share Friends circle decreases to a miniscule few Many have passed away closely that you new In the society recognition dwindles, importance cannot command In the home, family attention cannot demand Be less critical , complain or seek attention to your woes Best as long as possible to be on your feet and toes Ample time now to seek God and pray Thoughts of final journey are real and here to stay Family and near ones eye on what they can get Distribute equitably let's you forget The desires for food ,traveling do decrease Medical problems rise and loneliness increase As you advance in age demands be reduced to less Be happy not to curse but to bless Take joys and sorrows along in your stride Obstacles of emotions feelings of unwanted do override Interests and hobbies time alone will save Loneliness. Indifference in life to boldly brave In old age mental, physical problems aggravate and are grave Live and let live without regrets on your journey to the grave Looking inwards at yourself have now time to spare Like a child feel need of company . help and care Ruminate over all the goodness , gifts in life you did share Revenge, hatred, anger let not your joy tear Old age is a blessing, gift to live long Sing and praise Divine as you sail along Indifference, importance in society, family may not be wrong Self confidence and worth not empathy , sympathy make you feel strong Envy and pride to live and enjoy benefits of old age Not many of your friends had this privilege Bible says long life is a blessing and gift Those whom God loves share the benefit Nelson Lopes Chinchinim Nelson Lopes Chinchinim https://lopesnelsonnat.wordpress.com Nelson Lopes Chinchinim https://lopesnelsonnat.wordpress.com
