: A Tribute To The Elderly
: We see them as children, crazy and so very, very old.
: But had we known them years ago, the stories they would have told.
: Think of all the knowledge that they carry, that we could have possessed.
: But as we see them now with their weak and fragil minds
: you never would have guessed.
: But as they are we somnetimes forget, that they are people too!
: With feelings and compassion, just like me and you.
: So remember when your with them, that this is not a game.
: For as time goes on, we all grow old, and soon,we'll be the same.
