Our Responsibilty

Is it not everyone's responsibility 
To take care of the precious elderly
If you do not believe me come and see
The tears that fall repeatedly.

Because the cost to say hello is free
And this may be my final plea
And to my heart you already have the key
So all you really need is me.
