A Man Learns
He was drinking a lot and smoking,
Wife and children tried to stop him,
He never listened to them,
Until he wasn’t advised by a doctor.
He had cancer,
He was up-set about his new dreams,
He cancelled a family holiday,
After his doctor’s advise.
Family again start to look after him,
Now he was on the bed,
And seeking everyone’s kind help,
He asks about everyone.
Asks about time and calls staff,
Over and over, asks about family members,
Now he was repeating to all,
A man learns after mistakes.
Don’t worry about me,
It is a lesson that I always ignored,
You never forgot it,
Health is only a wealth.
