When I get old, not my usual self anymore.
Please understand me, be a bit patient with me.
In case I spill some soup onto my clothes or when I forget to tie my shoe lace.
Do think about those days, how I held your hands to teach you to do all these.
In case I repeat myself time and again those stories that you have got tired listening,
be patient with me. Do not interrupt me rudely.
When you were young, I used to tell you stories after stories repeatedly until you fall into your dreamland.
In case I need you to help me bathe, do not scold me.
When you were small, I used to coax you time & again to take your bath.
Can you still remember those times?
In case I am unfamiliar with the latest technology or been confronted with new
situation, Please do not ridicule me.
Rather, think about those times when I patiently entertained your every inquisitiveness.
In case my feet become too weak and weary to walk,
do give me your strong hands for me to hold on to.
Just like I used to hold on to you tightly when you first learn to walk.
In case I should forget suddenly the topic of our conversation,
do give me time to recall.
In fact, to me, the topic of discussion is immaterial,
I would be most pleased and satisfied, just to be with you by my side listening to me.
When you see me age, do not feel sad.
Understand me, support me, just like when you first started out in life.
How I treated you then.
At that time, I show you the way to live life.
Now, please accompany me to finish my life's journey.
Give me your love and patience. I shall repay you with my heartfelt smile.
This smile comes with my crystallized boundless love for you.
