old grandparents Fragile and broken Sadness filled in eyes Their youthful days with entire vigor they cared for me Today,I bring sparkle in their lives I strive for them
today's society can forget those of age who raised and taught us as children....it is the right and moral thing to do to help them in any way we can....
Grandparents are the roots of our existence,the values they taught us will mould us in ways that are unimaginable in life today..Dadaji though i didnt spend that much time with you,You will always remain in my heart
A few but inspiring lines Kislaya. Yup! growing up with grandparents is an amazing time and then caring for them when they are old is certainly an obligation. I have lots of memories living with my grandparents.
Little things mean a lot to them! It's only when we are not bothered that they feel sad. But the beauty of it is that they don't show their sadness! Nicely Kislaya!
My response to your comment on my haiku~ "Chivalry" ;)Thank you Kislaya!!
Is it that she cannot bear to face and see his concern for her, or still is listening to his sweet nothings or as Leo says, is not responding to his love overtures!! Beautiful painting with so many interpretations!!
such a beautiful thought kislaya... of course this is at best the moral of our life :)
