Defining Old Age
Old age is poised for death
It is the reminiscence of the past
Old age is hankering for the
past glory
It is the reflection of the magnificent youth.
Old age is remembrance of
The bygone love
It is the mirror of the lovelorn
Old age is asking for
Diving blessing
It is the moment for
Closing eyes forever.
For a cynic old age
Is dearest
For an optimist it
Is a curse
For an octogenarian it is
The yearning for teen age.
