When Old And Young Are Together Poem by Savita Tyagi

When Old And Young Are Together

Rating: 5.0


Playing around
Little boy and grandma
Talk ceaselessly
Some time to each other
Some time above themselves
Their strings of imagination weave
A web beyond the spheres of reality.

*******************

For the sake of old times
Grandma goes on slide
Sitting behind two year old.

Her screams brought by sudden
Fright and sheer joy took toddler
By surprise.....
Scared and distraught two year old
Puts his little hand decisively
On Grandma's round belly.

No! Grandma! No go on slide!
Effectively ending grandma's next round
Of thrilling return to childhood!

When aged people are in the company of little children, they easily slip into older times of gaiety and merriment! No wonder old age is often acclaimed as second childhood! Great write where the young and the aged meet!
