GROW OLD ALONG WITH ME

Grandpa of ninety years
sitting out the house
gazing at the stars,
he went to his past
He murmured,

"Grow old along with me 
The best is yet to be"

The lightening glow of God
Gifted by the Lord
that face of a child
It looked like for a while.

Glimpsing at the life
The life is wide and vast
The life is love to God
The life is to prove it on.

In childhood,he thought that,
it was the worthiest time
Playing with friends,
around the oasis!
Thought it was the best,
The sweetest time of life
Was it the sweetest?
Now the wisely doubts


As he grew up he thought,
The school time was the best,
There was sharing of hearts
He loved and was loved.
Was it the best of life?


As he got a job
He thought it was the best
As he could earn
And save for future
was it the best of life?


As he got married he thought
it was the best of life
As he had partner forever
Was it the best of life?

Playing with his own kids,
He thought it was the loviest
Was it the loviest?


As his parents passed away
He thought that time was the worst
Was that the worst time?

As the kids grew up 
And stood themselves in the world
he thought he could relax
and its the happiest time
was it the happiest life?

As he became older
Ninety years old
He knew the world better
he knew the hearts better
he knew the real life better
Everything better
loving,loving and loving
his entire life.


Yes!"Grow old along with me
the best is yet to be"
His murmuring was heard
He went inside and slept!
