No Insult To An Old Age Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

No insult to an old age
Wednesday,9th June 2021

It is an insult to old age
don't waste page
and manage with lame excuses
no soul on this earth can refuse the contribution

the body may decay
the tongue may not stay stable
then feet may crumble
the walking may be a difficult struggle

are we becoming a burden?
and adding to their concern
with the happiness
turning into soreness

what are we leaving behind?
a treasure so kind to cherish
and finish the life on borrowed experience
with improved chances

Old age is a direction
for taking up the right course of action
the world can thrive upon an experience
and seize the chance

any living things have to depart
and can't remain part forever
there should neither be fear
nor unpreparedness to bear the pain

neither age may take you to the desolation
or put you in the isolation
it shall rather strengthen the relation
for future generation
