Five Liner. Difference Poem by Valsa George

is this to be part of your memoir? i MUST read IT! SEND it to me, por favor. and don't forget: As babies 'grow into' training pants from their nappies, octogenarians at times need diapers to catch 'crappies'. NOT the crappies which are small American fishes, but those which get flushed down toilets with swishes. Mary-aka-Bri :) :) p.s. Valsa, did you have to remind us? ?

All things steady would soon No doubt stagger and stoop That is the way of the world Described by you well in words

There's a saying in my language: it is old age that not everybody has experienced but everybody has experienced being a child. Well written aunty Valsa. May God give you more wisdom to educate us the more. Stay blessed...

That describes me. And I become more childlike every day.: -) Thanks for sharing, Valsa. Peace

The difference between childhood and old age has been so clearly and impressively delineated. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.

That's natural, the difference is noted by all of us. Enjoyed the poem.

Old age is like childhood revisited, since the old alike the child need lot of love, care and attention.

wow so true and well said..........

I imagined an old lady talking with a toddler, they simply adore children and the children seem to like their interest. This is beautiful Valsa. Kumarmarni has directed me here. You are a treasure.
