The Old Gardener

The old gardener waits
For little angels
To play joyfully
In his garden.

The garden he made for them,
To see their faces brighten
And their hearts filled with joy.

Be kind to him,
Treat his heart with care,
For as time moves on
You may one day be
A gardener like him.

This is sweet. The elderly should be respected. It's not that way much any more

It can be translated as a portrayal of a grandfather's love for his grandchildren and his joy in watching them play happily around him.
