Old Bench

Day 19- OctPoWriMo 2015

I was blessed to hear their

Sweet innocent gibberish nothings

They adorned me with

Buckets full of garden earth

I was freshly painted then

Full of life and valour

I was proud to witness their

First acquitted zealous kiss

They promised a lifetime forever

With love and passion

I was young then

Full of energy and vibrant

I was emotional to see them

Exchanging vows under the tree

Assurances for togetherness

Building faith and affection

I was aging gracefully

With fearlessness

I was thrilled to know their blossoms

Twins were they

Exact replica of their mother

Jovial as their blood relation

I was getting old

Yet I was as alive as I could be

I was elated to feel them growing

Soon standing tall

As handsome as they could be

Now showing more traces of their father

I was happy

To see my family growing

I was greeting the old couple after long

They seem drained of life

Their kids with family of their own

Had discarded them out of their lives

I am one with them old,

Exhausted and secluded.
