Many of my well-wishers often ask me -
How old are you?
I tell them how can I answer this silly question!
When I play with a little child -
I am one year old.
When I watch cartoons -
I'm three.
When I dance to the tune of music -
I am sweet sixteen.
When I talk to some youth -
I feel as young as them.
When someone asks me to share my life-experiences -
I feel and talk like an old wise man.
When I try to heal someone's wound,
It's like I’ve crossed six decades of my life span.
And when I chat with sparrows or rabbits,
Or run after my dog and his ball,
I become their age.
-- --
What is there in age?
Isn't it a number only?
Like the light of the sun
And the flowing river waters
I am ageless.
I keep changing with time and experience.
Days are marching towards night - No doubt,
Whenever the curtain drops -
Whenever the end extends its hand,
I shall hold it.
Till then - It’s not my age that matters.
How fully have I lived thus far -
That is the consideration.
Very nice,Rajan ji
