The Aged

A gain in age 
A loss in life span
A gain in age 
A loss in health
A gain in  age 
A loss in value
Unless he has invaluable contribution
Like Abraham Lincoln the president
Like Albert Eistein the scientist
Like Confucius the philosopher
Or else he will be gradually forgotten
Retreating from this world
Unlike an antique
Which time gives it value 
Who will give the aged value 
Of course no one else 
Except his family and the loved ones 
Except the Almighty God
