In old age your wealth is when your home is with your children,
When your children come home after work and ask," Mum how was your day?
Did you take your medicine?"
Wealth is when you hear the pitter patter of small feet playing while you doze,
Sometimes demanding to be told stories,
Sometimes insisting on going for walks or to an icecream parlour.
Wealth is when you share a kitchen with your daughter -in-law cooking for the family,
When you gossip over a cup of tea.
Wealth is when your granddaughter or grandson seeks your advice,
Shares their secrets with you and come to your room to talk.
And lastly wealth is when a family is united spending quality time together.
