I can feel the pain in your grin
I can sense the vacuum created within,
The anxiety that arouses in you
The distress you are going thru.
I have noticed the changes in you
In a shell you have withdrew,
When you feel helpless at times
Have also seen you reciting hymns.
I can see you getting irritated on petty things
The tantrums you throw, the sorrow it brings,
I can sense you feel you are being neglected
The prime reason why you feel dejected.
You try to gain attention like a child
Sometimes your behavior goes wild,
You scream, you shout, you yell
You spoil your health, you become unwell.
Dad, your problems we understand totally
At this age, we don't want you to feel lonely,
May you always be happy and cheerful
Lets celebrate life and together make it joyful.

This is a fantastic write Kavya..... the typical behaviour pattern of an elderly helpless man who feels neglected! His erratic behaviour can annoy anyone. Still he needs to be made convinced that he is not alone, but there are others around him to care! Top marks!
