Old Age.......

Are mums and dads baggage meant to be put away?
How would you have grown if they had thought the same way?

Old age is but second childhood
Is it fair to banish them into an unknown neighbourhood?

Are they at an age where they can make new friends?
Take care of themselves and adapt to new trends

Why deny your children the warmth of grandparents?
Feel blessed if you have the chance to live with aged parents

We won't realise their worth until they are gone
Then it will be too late for our mistakes to atone

An old age home can never replace their son
Never commit the sin of separating parents and son

For one day it will be our turn too
God forbid the tables could well turn on you

Let us learn our lesson while we still have time
And ensure parents are looked after when well past their prime.
