Wonderful writeup.

This is very true and you do a very nice job portraying it in your poem.

LOL, I’m and old folk but that doesn’t fit me or any other old folk I know.

drishti8, thank your for reading my poem and I appreciate your comment.

love doc., thank you for reading my poem and agreeing with the contents.

Ruby Hawk, thank you for reading my poem. I’m glad to hear that you and those you know are not in an abandoned situation. But I have met many elderly parents abandoned by their children who don’t give a care if their parents are cared for are not. Many that I have met are filled with loneliness and have appreciated my visits. When it was time to leave they didn’t want to let me go. Not because I’m special but because they were so lonely and felt unloved. My poem is a reflection of some of these that I have met. I am aware that they are not all in the same situation. Thank you for visiting.

Yes, lots of old people are in this situation. It is really sad, as many of us could have done much more for our parents when they were still with us.
We can have some comfort from knowing that in the future new world there will be no more suffering, nobody loses their strength when they get older.
“‘Rescue him from the grave,
for I have found a ransom for his life.’
Then his body will become as healthy as a child’s,
firm and youthful again.” Job 33:24,25

Hi buenavida! Unfortunately too many are in an abandoned situation. Thanks for sharing the Bible’s future hope for the elderly becoming young again..

one nice poem of an old folk. i will let my dad read it then. =)

hushi22, I’m happy you liked my poem. And after your dad reads it, then tell him how much you love him and that he will always have a place in your loving home and heart. .

good article,thanks

If my folks would have lived, they won’t ever be neglected. Soulful lines, my friend.

Good to know that!

Many old and healthy folks are fond of scolding people. They sure do not whither.
