Platinum Age

Age is a small word

With complications filled all around

The most complicated and lonely

Is the 'platinum age' 

Consisting of the most precious gems

Most respectable yet neglected 

This is what we call the old age

Heart filled with greed of love

Though they are surrounded by people

Body with limited strength

And always ready for eternal peace

Oh! what a life it is !

This maybe some people's reaction

But no, that is not what old age is all about

It is about the growing restlessness

The worm trigging the minds from rest

The want to have their life on rewind

Yet the wish of getting peace at last

Is the common battle in the mind

But in the swirls of all these thoughts

There, deep within the heart and soul

Lies the need of that child 

Whom they had once pampered

To come and reassure them 

'Don't worry we are here with you

To get through this platinum age 

With love, tender care, us and you.'
