Second Innings - This is a collection of poems written for or from the point of view of an ageing person. <br />---- <br /> <br />Child I’m growing old <br />I’ll need your hand to hold <br />Just like I held yours <br />Back when you were young. <br /> <br />Child I’m getting old <br />I’ll need you to hug me tight <br />Just like I hugged you and <br />Helped you through the darkest night. <br /> <br />Child I’m getting old <br />My wings have grown fragile <br />Lend me your wings <br />And fly me a while. <br /> <br />Child, I’m so lonely alone <br />Please come back home. <br /> <br />(28 March 2007) <br /> <br />--- <br />This one specifically talks about parents whose kidshave left the nest, never to turn back. <br />---<br /><br />.Pd. is here<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/come-back-home-second-innings/
