His Worry

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

Even at the age of seventy-six
He is quite lively and smart
Eat, drink and be merry his ethos
Finding him anxious and low
I routinely enquired about
His health and well-being.

He blinked for a moment
Then replied as follows:

Continuous morning walks
Supplemented with umpteen pills
Are not bringing relief these days-
Sugar is getting out of control
Blood pressure is shooting up
And acidity is making life hell…

Now I am really worried
If this is the state of affairs
Of my health at this stage
God! What will happen
When I enter my old age?
