11 Aug The Golden Years
The Golden Years
The elderly are people who
we’re supposed to respect.
So why do they sometimes
become victims of neglect?
They struggle and sacrifice.
Work their fingers to the bone.
But when they get older,
some children take all they own.
I don’t know why – they
call them – the golden years?
When they’re filled
with hardships and
filled with tears.
They worked hard
all their life.
Yet get treated like dirt.
Parents give us their all.
Should they be the
ones that we hurt?
Many peoples morals —
are declining every day.
Compassion and respect,
used to be the American way.
We have drifted from God,
no more prayers in school.
Greed, immorality, and selfishness are the rule.
Some people are too busy – –
to care for Mom and Dad.
So if Grandpa becomes crippled,
then it’s just too bad.
Place him in a home,
like an animal in a zoo.
And visit once a year, –
if it’s convenient for you.
If your elderly and mistreated.
Take comfort in the Lord.
Those people who oppress you.
Will be judged by the sword.
Their children are watching.
It’ll become a learned behavior.
They’ll be placed in a
rest home themselves.
But their cries won’t be heard by our Savior.
