The advancing age brought you wisdom and respectability;
In turn took your youth and agility.
Wobbly walk, hearing ailments and dimness of sight;
Grand Children are only source to emotional delight.
Ailments that you previously ignored;
Now visits to doctor become more and more.
Simple things that you did effortlessly;
You now have to look at others helplessly.
‘Demon of old age’ has very foul odour;
Swallows all, irrespective of your cadre.
Elderly people must be loved with harmony;
Because getting older is a privilege denied to many.
