OLD IS GOLD

.............ITS ABOUT LOVING YOUR GRANDPARENTS

In our garden chirping of birds and rustling of leaves was amusing
I found in my courtyard a feeble women with bent waist 

and supporting stick sitting
The long experiences of life were reflecting in her hairs
Her ill health and lost vitality indicated 

she will not be with us for any more years
Her eyes were staring the dancing birds,flowing breeze,bouncing squirrels 

and the colorful world of flowers

It seems nature has given her a break from pain experienced in life

and lost desires.

That day....
Courtyard was empty and garden was covered with silence
Our house lost the woman,the fragrance of whose sown flowers

made it a home with hard work immense
Tears were rolling out from everyone eyes
Her youth lost its charm serving her children throughout her life
But her children left her alone when her hands require their strength
Without her our home will always be vacant.

Love your parents,care for them
Don't be too late to make your mistakes realize
Because time will come when you will not find them in front of your eyes.

Our grandparents represent the long relation we have with the beginning of time. Even to think of a break in the connection is frightful. Nice ..

As I read I could see the image of the courtyard and garden in my mind. It was descriptive and lovely with a true and wondrous lesson.

[anne]

thank you once again...... :) ;)

[Rene Salinas]

Age and respect, once upon a time wisdom and patience as well were synonym of having grandparents but as modern life tends to make an impact on family structure things have changed and what was once it has been lost. Sure enough appreciation for a life given is fundamental to continue to learn. Very valid feelings here.

Thankyou for you invite Anne
