CHRONICLE OF AN OLD LADY

The old lady lay on her deathbed

Broken in body and soul,

Those she loved and cared for

Were too far away to call.



The one she despised and blamed

Despite her miseries, tried;

To do what little was possible

As she worried, fretted and cried.



Her house and money were assets

They would be useful she had felt,

They turned to be useless when needed

Cause they themselves could not help.



So fame and money are useless

Until you have people in your life,

Who love you for what you are

And not for the things you have.

Wise words, Sumita. Such is as it is. Old people are often abandoned by their children and once-upon-a-time friends.
