Seniors

You don’t have to rub it in, we know that we’re getting old

But we can’t sit in a corner and do as we are told

Some of us can make decisions, where to go and what to do

Then some again are so confused and don’t know who is who

Without any sense of direction, on others they do depend

They always need protection and someone who could defend

Don’t pass remarks on seniors, for they have feelings too

Be very careful what you say and also what you do

Each one has something special, their backgrounds you don’t know

Place yourself in their position, then you’ll know how far to go

Patience and understanding must be exercised each day

For some are so thickheaded and want everything their way

The thought of being dependent frustrates them quite a lot

They do not want to loose control of everything they’ve got

Nothing goes on forever, and there comes the time to quit

So remember, just never say never, for saying never won’t help a bit
