Helplessness
We were helpless
when we were born
And remain so
Even as grandpa or grandmom.
We think we won't be anymore
as we get older
But find it doesn't go
just changes colour.
As children... unable
to fend for ourselves!
As adults.... Worried
about everyone else!
And how do we handle events thrown at us by nature?
Do we have any control at all?
And to control, are we mature?
And when our loved ones
go out here and there...
We worry till we know
that they are okay there.
This irritates as they are able,
But how do we tell?
It's not them we are unsure of..
but of the world in which we dwell.
We lose control as we get older
over our bodies n minds
Quite often don't accept this
and it does us confine.
But we end up trying to cope
maybe.... over trying?
While in the others, care givers,
only irritation is growing.
Know that the heart doesn't rest
till we hear them who we love.
And having fought through life
We can't just give up and fold.
