Dealing and waiting patiently from infancy,
Passing through deemed young- age deficiency.
Seeing all the pros and cons of every fancy,
Perceiving gradual entries for old –age discrepancy.
Living ever free with all might in youth- mood,
Enjoying all innocent freeness in the child-hood.
Serving the society – mankind & get good-food,
Reaching all stages of age, with varied attitude.
Eyes, tired long, leave their original reception,
Ears and teeth do tumble in work, with exception.
Muscles and bones, become pain- friendly, in exertion,
Most of the organs, generally work in depression.
Office & work place discard, declaring him as retired,
Friends & known deviate from him saying, tough to be hired.
Relatives & owns, get repel, terming him to be ever tired,
Own body & physique surrender as going to expire.
Living- long in this world, they ever gain to retain,
Humanity & experience in their long-life lanes.
They lose their being-youth, never to regain,
And approach this persistent stage, bearing pains.
They ever perceive & think for this age in life,
Endlessly prepare for this, all the way, right.
Gradually enter this age, having no reversal right,
Though undesired & unwelcome phase of one’s life.
Happiness is just a mind’s comparative aspect,
Cause, motive, situation or in any physical respect.
Even then if an old person, any how, feels perfect,
It is as a boon on a soul, from God’s Benedict.
