Veterans...

Old in age,
nothin' significant to do,
noone to look after,
they may physically be weak,
but carry with the most active mind,
Dont know when,
mind get lost,
searchin' for the pictures of life,
only few of them still fresh,
only few of them still pleasin',
but in those few of them,
see their whole life.

time of childhood,
so naughty we were,
thinkin' about it makes you laugh.

time of youth,
that running after girls,
thinkin' about it makes you blush,

time of adulthood,
so caring and sincere we were,
thinkin' about it make you proud.

you smiled only for a moment,
when you are back,
you present starts teasing you,
so helpless and thirty for love,
thinkin' all this makes you cry,
but you drink them,
let not the world see,
you pray for them,
"God help them and take care of them no matter whatever they maybe"
