Elderly parents longing for love!
Skin shrinking, physique thinning
Both eyes vision fading - black colored
Hair getting grey, walking unsteady,
Getting older longing for love! 1
Suffering old-age while there is
...nobody to show compassion,
Gets weariness without bearing
...the loss of the spouse - am I correct?
Is it not the duty
...to protect the elders like eyes?
Longing after they leave us
...is nothing but paltriness! 2
