Aging Irony

Post by beekay » June 19th, 2017, 1:14 pm

The young, fledgling child
Tests wings and parents’ patience
With uncaring joy

The maturing child
Sees parents growing smarter
With each passing year

The aging child learns
Parents will now burden him
As he once did them

The dying child knows
The road he now slowly walks
Is his parents' road

Turn, turn and you’ll hear
The world we knew as children
Crying in the dust

the natural progression is a constant reminder that some things are unavoidable... 8) .. :D
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
