Too Late Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

Too Late



Cant see with both the eyes, they are dim, he said.
One cant do cataract with both eyes simultaneously,
And for one eye, they charge five thousand rupees.

I gave him in late 80s when my salary was that much.
He took the money, and mus thave done the operation.
I dont remember to have asked him about it.

I never offered to give him amount for the other eye.
And yet this is my Dad who paid back my loan scholarship
First things from the money he got on retirement.

I want to shout only one thing to all children
'You may be busy and important, but your parents
Will soon pass away, and you should not be left with regrets.
