The life started of being is an infant
Then childhood, youth, paternity present
Later on old age, next, track down to the demise
Babies are cared and shared in all wants complies
Child needs are at most filled to thy demand
Youth are under control partially, comprehend
Of asks, some are rewarded a few are rejected
At age of an adult, self-demands dwindle allied
With family wants, may hassle, with frontfewer self-needs
More endeavors for parents and children accedes
Thus the freedom lessens as age headed
At age-old life is miserable, body bend
Walking pace trim down, needs stick to support
Teeth fall, vision impaired, deafness set assort
Brothers and friends may not listen to calls
The wife may fail to serve up, even the son appalls
May become an enemy and unethical in adjusting
Thus speaks king and poet Batrihari the old age as distrusting
