When I'm old!

When I'm old!

When I am old, very shabby old, will you still be with me? Will you have some patience with me? Suppose your expensive glassware suddenly falls from my hand or I overturn the vegetable bowl on the table, then I will not be able to see very well! Please don't scold me by shouting! Old people feel neglected all the time, don't you know?

One day I will stop hearing with my ear, at once I will not understand what you are saying, but that's why you don't call me deaf! If necessary, after taking the trouble, say that thing once again or write it on paper. Forgive me, I am old by the law of nature, tell me what should I do?

And when my knees will start trembling, both legs will refuse to bear the weight of this body, won't you help me stand up with a little patience, say? The way you learned to walk for the first time by standing on my toes, in the same way?

Sometimes I will be chattering like a broken record player, you listen with a little effort. Please don't make fun of me. Don't be bothered by my chatter. Do you remember how long as a kid you used to whisper near my ear for a balloon until I bought it for you, do you remember?

If possible, forgive the smell of my body too. The smell of old age is arising in my body. Then don't force me to take a bath. My body will become very weak at that time, I will feel cold as soon as I get a little water. Please don't wrinkle your nose at me! You remember, I used to run after you because you didn't want to take a bath? Believe me, this is what happens to old people. Maybe one day you will understand, maybe one day!

If you have time, we'll gossip together, okay? Even if only for a few moments. I remain alone throughout the day, I do not spend my time alone. I know, you will be very busy in your works, even if you do not like listening to my old words, stay with me for a while. Do you remember, how many times I used to tell you the things of your little doll, I kept on listening and you kept on talking, kept on talking. I used to tell you many stories too, do you remember?

A day will come when I will be lying on the bed, then will you take care of me a little? Forgive me if I wet the bed by mistake, if I soil the sheet, don't stay away leaving me in my last moments, please!

When the time comes, take my hand in your fist. Give me some courage so that I can fearlessly embrace death. Don't worry, when I see my creator, I will whisper in his ears that he will do good to you. Save you from every evil. Because you loved me, you took care of me in my old age.

I love you very much Ray, you stay very well. Apart from this, what else can I say, what good can I give.🌷
