Elderly Dearly! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

Times May Change,
Trends May Change,
But Cultures &
Traditions Wouldn't;

Experience Comes &
Maturity Follows with,
Attaining of an Age,
And Growing Old Quiet;

Seeing the Highs & Lows,
In Lengthy Plenty Life,
They Lead A Lonely Lovely,
Low Life of Retirement;

Wise Thoughts Hidden,
Under White Hairs &
Peaceful Paths Under,
Bald Empty Heads;

Elderly Steady Heads,
Are Moral Guides with,
Accomplishments &
Beacons of Survival Skills!

Abuse Not the Elderly,
Respect Them Dearly;
Avoid Them Not Harshly,
Attend Them Affectionately;
Ignore Not Negligently,
Hear to them Diligently;

Hate Them Not in Haste,
For Their Inabilities;
Praise Them Well,
For Your Today's Capabilities!
