be prepared through life



Nature




The old people
You see them in the park
Watching the sunset
Counting the days

The lucky ones
They have homes to call
Children to look after them
They can live through the twilight years

The unlucky ones
They are sent to old folk homes
The children can't take care of them
They let the professionals do the work

The old people
When they were young
They forgot to build their nest eggs
The years passed too quickly

By the time they wake up
They find they have nothing to live by
Some abandoned on public corridors
The sad eyes the will of life gone

The old people
There are lessons to learn
For the young floating up in the air
Be prepared through out your life
