when age comes along



When age comes along
The twilight years take us through
The good and bad that will become
The payback time before we are forgotten

When age comes along
Parents hope to get a good time
Living with children some will go
Some good deeds; some bad living

It is the payback time
The children now adults
The parents now old and weak
Will there be joy and lasting smile?

Some aged parents feeling the blues
The sons and daughters try to run
Leaving them on the roads or bus stations
Some lucky ones in old folk homes

Some are made to work every day
Suffering the indignity of maids
The aged parents keep quiet feeling the pain
At least they reason they have a roof over their heads

The joy of growing old
Some good; some bad
It all depends how you do
When you were young
