Why, indeed, eh, why?
Let a baby loudly cry!
Does it our patience try?
Let an elderly person a groan, a tear try.
Our response would be truly wry!
Why, indeed, eh, why?
Look at a baby's wrinkled hand.
Of plump softness we find it a brand.
Feel the wrinkles on an aged hand.
Oh, we sure find it dry-n-gnarled!
Why, indeed, eh, why?
Let a baby our patience try.
To cheer her, we indeed do try.
But if an aged person does a little whimper
With utmost scorn most all knowingly simper!
Why, indeed, eh, why?
If a child plays a game,
her enthusiasm we never try to tame.
If the old try a knot beyond the frame,
Most all give it the very worst name!
Why, indeed, eh, why?
One is beginning the journey of life.
With lovely possibilities isn't the road rife?
The other is nearing the very dead end.
The final exit gonna be the next bend.
Once we them the final bye bid,
Never are they going to return indeed!
Why not fill their dimming days with kindness?
For once they gave our nascent lives its pace!
Why not indeed, eh, why?
Indeed it is worth every try!
pratima@ why never a re-turn regret!
