you are well taken care of, safely guarded, in your parent's warm nest.
if you are lucky, this will continue through your growing up with the years,
you shall be prepared and taught to cope, surrounded by your very dears.
But nothing stands still, time marches on and then you are one of the old-
should you still have most of your faculties-you are lucky, I am so told.
There is no doubt that one is privileged to still be on the family tree-
to feel that there is such good togetherness makes one feel ever so free.
Should the brain function it is a big boon and the days are ever so good,
yet there shall be a time when there is an end, that is clearly understood.
To be able to face this with equanimity we should call this a blessing-
one should take each day as it comes and not spend time guessing !
Looking back on a long span of wonderful years is now so rewarding,
to feel that one has been a good human being until the final parting,
gives room to the thought that those who follow will not pine too much,
knowing that one was loved- surely give it a so very pleasing last touch !
