Hope of the old

The daughters and the son of my son!

I am around you, serving and pleasing

At the cost of my pride and convenience.

It’s an investment for the mercy to accrue;

The mercy of you and your parents

To feed me when I go invalid,

To nurse me when I am bed ridden,

And to see me off in a smooth sailing.

You may fail but I’ve no alternative.

This is the fate of every human
