When you are old

Tenth place

Contest by Sara Kendrick 

When you are getting old with short future, It seems shocking to admit ruthless truth : Youth bade bye and life is not running smooth. Physical limitations you captured. Each moment will remind ' Your time is up !' Lots of activities are left undone. Days are passing dull without any fun. Next generation not to fill your cup. Achievements, involvements went obsolete. Once you showed light on path of your children. Now lost importance being turned burden. Are you becoming old fool ? Most unfit !
