AGEING CONCERNS
Just delivered baby out of delivery ward
For first time baby is viewing the vast yard
Father looks at baby's eyes
Baby sees a stranger's face.
Mother comfortably feeds the baby
Baby's hunger satiated conveniently
Father picks up and plays with baby
Baby feels solace and safety.
Baby is happy with mother and father
Baby grows up without a bother
In no time baby starts crawling
Parents so happy with their offspring.
Baby starts troubling to eat food
Mother uses tactics to stay in mood
Father brings toys soon after
When baby grows will it feed us they wonder?
Father holds the baby's hands
To make him walk on his tiny steps
Baby falls down many times
When I age will he hold my hands father wonders.
Boy falls sick with cold and fever
Mother uses home remedy to temper
Father brings medicines just to beware
If they fall sick would the son take care?
Boy goes to school to study
Takes help from father constantly
Father sits and makes him learn repeatedly
Wonders if son will take his amnesia kindly.
Boy grows up and graduates
He earns money and spends
Father advises him to be prudent and thrifty
Parents wonder if son will care for them really.
Anxiety rests on parents' mind
Despite this they shower love in kind
Will he take care of us or disown
Or put us in a senior citizen home?
Son as adult has his own dreams
He gets married to live with his wife
Will he adjust with his aged parents
Only time will tell if they find peace.
