The Little Thoughts. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Like worn out horseshoes, they neglects
The old man once in youth every one praised
For his activities, charities, and good work
But now he is so week that too to walk in open
A trusted walking stick is helping him
A powered spectacles that does its service to him
A trusted and tamed domestic dog helps him
To secure his life from the reptiles, or creatures
And from thief in nights wandering in such homes
The oldman tries hard to lead a life his own
His confidence is still high and continues the journey
In village, his presence everywhere,
In nearby town he spends the evening with care
But all I knew his mind is full of sympathy to others
And himself he knows the negative feelings of neglect
Still manages it with positive thoughts of a lot.
Which he has wisely kept in mind in younger days.
