You Are Never Old. Poem by gnrao rao

The Building can become old,
The painting can become old,
Friendship can become old,
The wine can become old.
BUT
You,
You can never become old.
Unless
You think and believe
You are really old.
Old is gold.
Think, ponder, contemplate,
The sweet memories of the past,
The people who helped you
Even without your asking.
Be thankful to God,
The manufacturer,
Who made in tact,
with all faculties,
In working condition,
You can move,
You can see,
You can talk,
You can hear,
You can feel and enjoy.
You can smell too.
Stop grumbling, groaning,
Complaining, condemning,
Start appreciating,
Thanking every one
older or younger,
Keep on smiling,
Laughing and enjoying,
Every second of your life.
Help if you can,
Teach and guide if you can,
If anyone asks you.
Never preach, never bore,
Make their time and life
A pleasant one.
Let them remember you,
When you are gone,
With pleasure.
For life and time
Is very short,
You will not get
Another chance
to be a human being.
You can never retire
Until you retire
From this world
Once and for all.
