Growing old,
I am scared of losing my mobility,
Becoming incompetent.
Afraid, afraid of myself,
When I cannot even make a cup tea,
Sitting by the window in a wheel chair,
Looking at the grey sky,
The stench of a soiled pamper unbearable,
Waiting for somebody to help me.
How could I hold onto material things,
My pride and ego,
When I will be unable to balance a spoon or glass,
And when I drool and spill food on the floor,
My own glaring at me,
A burden.
Anxiety sets in the core of my bones,
When the day will come,
I will have to depend on my children for a glass of water and other needs,
My calls falling on deaf ears
Me a nuisance.
I pray the day does not come,
And if it does,
It does not take too long.

Needs Food in his stomach,
To sustain the love.

You are blessed if you have a daughter,
A gift for your old age.
A daughter is yours until she dies,
A son is yours until he gets married.

Gives me courage to mingle
easily with people.

Nine hit eight,
Eight hit seven,
Seven hit six,
Six hit five,
Five hit four,
Four hit three,
Three hit two,
Two hit one.
Zero was frightened,
One is going to hit me hard,
So it huddled with fear in a corner,
Waiting to be hit by one.
Instead one came and sat beside zero,
Zero became ten,
Stronger than all the rest.
Help ,
Don't hit.

What are responsibilities,
Get married,
Love is just a bait,
Many strings are attached.
Otherwise get a puppy,
It will be happy to see you,
Lick your face,
Even if you have left him alone all day

Is the station,
Where you change the mode of transport,
From walking the earth,
To flying to the Hereafter,
On the wings of an Angel.
