STELLAR

STELLAR

 

Longevity human aspires secret,

Parents yet bless, pray, indirect,

Fountains of joy and happiness,

The birth of a child touches, blesses, (1)

 

Generations make way gradually,

Child grandkid's offspring slowly,

Celebratory life eyes moistened,

Sweet home graceful welcomed, (2)

 

Laughter smiles, cries, loud noise,

Dissipate hunting silence poise,

Children study, get jobs married,

The home turned nostalgic tied, (3)

 

Chicks spread their wings look,

Flight, far-flung for a nest hook,

Mesmerize looking at his home,

Alas, children are leaving some, (4)

 

The Song of Life believed in melody,

Strikes events sadly, no comedy,

Mobile is busy, angry voice hurt,

A son divorced his wife life alert, (5)

 

Left her children, quit suddenly,

Decided to marry another boldly,

Grandkids are now left with him, sad,

Without parents, kids turn mad, (6)

 

The tears, sadness, cries, touch him,

Clueless twilight years life prime,

Better half no more she left early,

His life with kids, he serves sincerely, (7)

 

A generation after his children lit,

Precious Human Life Service admits,

His son divorced and remarried again,

Forgot his children fails to blame, (viii)

 

Scarcely contact him to inquire about kids,

Children are growing river rapids,

Meager his sustenance resource,

Repeated efforts teach, of course, (9)

 

Children study well, astonishing,

Both grandsons, also flourishing,

Educated refused to meet their father,

Both decided to live here assure, (10)

 

Trace advancing age weak limbs,

They help with necessary step climbs,

He chose business to stay with him,

Calling him Baba their care prime, (11)

 

Today, he ends his saga of life, sighed,

His grandsons are getting married,

His wife is no more, his children distant,

Found young generation instant, (12)

 

Caring loving provide shelter hell

Granddaughter-in-laws hug hail,

Learned the life of their husbands,

Baba is the family head, understands, (13)

 

Treat their wives as children well,

Gossip on his family history fails,

Crying painfully, he misses his children,

His granddaughter-in-laws soften, (14)

 

Eightieth his birthday celebrated,

Touched his feet stellar narrated,

Octogenarian, a life spectacular,

Serve children's grandkids stellar. (15)
