When I'Ll Be Ninety Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay
When I'Ll Be Ninety
If at all I reach that age
would I retain my faculty
my vision to read a book's page!
If and when I reach that time
would my mind be still that keen
could this hand pen a few more rhyme
this ink could some tales spin!
Would you still surround me
light my path like north star
or leaving me with my poetry
you would be then gone far!
How would I feel at ninety
contented fully fulfilled?
or sitting alone and empty
only death each breath would will!
Reaching ninety is really wonderful especially in ones life. These curiosity often comes to our mind. Especially if one is healthy even at ninety that would be great and really worthwhile living up to that age. Again a fantastic write. Loved the way you presented it.
These are thoughts that plague everyone's mind! Though may not be capable of writing rhymes or reading books, my only prayer is that I should be able to perform my most essential functions without having to depend heavily on others! Interesting thoughts Pradip!
To reach ninety is a rare feat and maintaining faculty at ninety is rarer and to feel life lived-contented is the rarest....very well penned indeed with rhyme......I liked it very much
How would I feel at ninety? So many hesitations and so many confusions in life with uncertainty. All things are represented inside this poem only. Very beautiful poem really. Excellent work.
