Every day, they lie to each other
Without you, they are finding it difficult to move further
Their faces have lost their smile
They fool themselves saying we are good, we are fine
They have started to tremble
They are playing life’s gamble
Your father’s leg has been paining for the past few weeks
He doesn’t let his wife know and always creeps
They don’t say it, but they want you to be with them in the last steps of life
How will a husband die, knowing that he will leave behind his wife
You are forgetting that you will be the same one day
Your loving children will not spare you, however you try to pay
They spend every minute looking at the door
Surprise them sometimes by coming off the shore
They have forgotten how to be lively, they have forgotten how to laugh
Both are surprised that sometimes they call them each other’s better half
Your hair is turning grey
Aren’t you afraid that you too will soon fall prey
Looking at your picture, they have started to frown
Come soon before they drown.
