The voice of an Aged Child
When I was a child I wanted to be
loved and cared; now I am old & I want the same but I don't have my
children around me.
When I was a child I wanted to stand
on my own legs; now I am old & I want the same but my knees don’t
permit me.
When I was a child, I wanted to hold
hands while walking, now I am old & I want to hold hands, there are no
hands to hold on.
When I was a child, I wanted to keep
few steps; now I am old & I want the same but my legs don’t coordinate with me.
When I was a child I wanted to be
listened; now I am old & I want the same but I don't have anybody around me
to talk
When I was a child I wanted to be
with my friends; now I am old & I want the same but my friends are battling
what I am battling
When I was a child, I wanted to eat
variety of foods, now I am old & I want the same but health keeps warning
me
When I was a child I slept at my
convenience; now I am old & I want do
the same but disease doesn't allow me
When I was a child, I wanted to be
fearless; now I am old & I want be fearless the thought of death kills me.
Old age is neither a disorder nor a
disease it is a cycle of life which doesn't differentiate between rich/
poor, educated /uneducated, it will happen.
Do remember, we are on the earth
which is rotating and some us are in the process of aging.
When you are taking care of your
child do remember there is an aging child in your home too
