GROW OLD GRACEFULLY
Youth and beauty for ever, do not stay
With age, changes our body n mind, in many a way.
Our face, wrinkles shows, and gone is that youthful glow.
Wanes our energy and movements become slow.
The shiny black, brown, golden locks, now grey have turned.
Happily one can now tell, "this silver I have proudly earned "
Bones creak, brittle become they and joints often hurt
Because of forgetfulness, young ones are often curt;
Sadly, some youngsters even treat elders like dirt;
Because spill things we often n stain our dresses or shirts.
But become not depressed n sad, or towards life turn cold;
Let's keep our body n mind agile n active; gracefully, lets grow old.
