An honorable tribute to the elderly whom you respect in the form of a nice poem. I enjoyed the thought as much as the write. Thanks and best wishes. Chandra Thiagarajan
There seems to be so little respect for the elderly in these youth-orientated days - a wonderful write which should be read by all.
Nice poem
