Never Tired  ( Acrostic Poem ) 

Never Tired - An Acrostic Poem

To that person, I bow down

   kneel on knees, my eyes with praise

       for he never gets tired, of work; of life; admirable.

In the farm, lost in those green beds

   paddy; potatoes and pumpkins, he raises,

        is his thin shaky outline, reflected by sun-blaze.

Rest, he has never stepped into that shed

     stir; sow and seed, this is all he ever does

         though his muscles crank and sweat waters the crops.

Energy seeps out of his cramped self

    as his bony hands hold the heavy sickle tight

        and sense of pride fills me, as an old memory drifts.

Don't you feel tired, of this; of all? 

    asked; I did, and to this he had replied - 

       tired and vexed, I shall be then...when I expire.
