To dt and those who cmi in chinese...
When I am Old
When I am old, and not who i used to be,
please be patient with me, and try to understand me.When i spill the vegetable soup on myself,
when i forget to tie my shoelaces,
please remember how i held your hand and taught you when you were younger.When i keep on repeating those incessant naggings that you are already sick of,
please listen to me and do not interrupt me,and remember how i used to repeat those fairytales to you each night,until you are soundly asleep in dreamland.When i need you to bathe me and keep me clean,
please do not blame me.please remember how i painstakingly coax you to bathing when you were a kid.
When i am completely lost in new technology,
please do not laugh at me.Think about how i patiently answered all your questions last time.When i am unable to walk on with my weary legs,
please lend me your strong and youthful hand,like how i supported you along as you took your first step yourself.When i suddenly forget about what we were talking about,
give me some time to think about it,cos it doesnt really matter what we're talking about to me, im satisfied knowing that you're here beside me listening to me.When you see me ageing you, please do not grieve.
show me your understanding and support, like how i treated you as u begin learning more about life.I brought you to this world, to this life.Today, i only ask of you to be with me through this last journey of my life.all i want is your love and patience, and i will smile with deep graditude,and hidden behind this fading smile is all the love i have for you...hope i've used the right words to bring out the emotion..
reading and typing all this makes me very emo. esp when i noe that this fri's coming. all too soon altogether... really hope everyone will treat your folks and grandparents better after reading this.
my retrospect;
5:28 PM
