GRACEFUL AGEING
When we are past seventy in age
We become senior citizens to gauge.
We slowly start feeling less energetic
We cannot do acts that quick.
At times we forget what we had to do
We have to recall memories through.
We may face body aches and pains
We have to stay active with right postures.
We have to be wary of BP diabetes
We have to take life long medicines.
We can use self healing techniques
To ward away minor ailments.
We have to eat moderately
We have to forego fried stuff totally.
We have to consume less sugar salt
Otherwise body tends to distort.
We have to drink enough fluids daily
To keep body hydrated mainly.
Walking is the best exercise they say
We should not miss it even for a day.
We should keep away from stress
Meditate and mindfully breathe to digress.
We have to follow passion or liking
Say reading writing singing dancing.
We should lead a disciplined life
We should not miss sleep over night.
We should take extreme care not to fall
Our body and bones cannot take this downfall.
We should have positive thoughts
And keep social contact with family and friends.
We should accept changes in daily life
As per societal demands to thrive.
Family should remain at peace
And adjust to aged lifestyle fantasies.
We should learn kitchen and home chores
And also assets and money transactions.
We should teach children good ways of living
So they in turn teach their children the same thing.
We should leave children to manage on their own
With minimal responsibilities on them thrown.
We should have faith in cosmic power
That will manifest in pleasure.
Spouse should learn to live alone
If mate departs to cosmic abode.
We did not decide our date and time of birth
We have no control over our departure from earth.
