In My World

 IN MY WORLD

In my world old men can be seen in parks performing tai chi; that's how they stay fit and alert.

In my world old men can be seen sitting in kopi tiams, sipping kopi cham and teh tarik between chatter; that's how they keep in touch with friends and make new acquaintances.

In my world old men can be seen praying in mosques at least five times a day; that's how they repent before Allah and prepare themselves for eternity.

In my world old men can be seen entertaining their grandchildren; that's how they inculcate familial bonds of love and build happy memories for their offspring. 

In my world old men can be seen having lunch with their "old lady;" that's how they still cherish their time with that special love in their life.

In my world life goes on even in our twilight years, and so it shall with our children's children's children.
