Which child will care for parents when old-aged? <br />Which child will show compassion and respect? <br />Which child will find the time to talk kind words? <br />Which child reciprocates their affection? <br /> <br />Gone are the days of joint family system! <br />Gone is the sense of values in people! <br />Gone are the times when blood was quite thicker! <br />Gone with the wind is honouring parents! <br /> <br />Have parents not showered love on children? <br />Have they not slogged to give them life's comforts? <br />Have they not nursed them whenev'r they fell ill? <br />Have they not done their duties to their kids? <br /> <br />The world today is selfish to the core; <br />Children just want the wealth of parents old; <br />None volunteer to tend to old parents; <br />Children show scarce love to their parents dear! <br /> <br />What has then come upon children today? <br />Who should take care of parents, elderly? <br />Should not one's children take care of parents? <br />Much love seems lost in families these days!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-must-take-care-of-old-aged-parents/
