July 28th "World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly"

In the infinite warm embrace of memories

There are countless precious stories hidden

World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly

Honoring wisdom, love so kindly

Grandparents and elders, pillars strong and true

Bridges to our past, with futures still to pursue

Wrinkled hands that once rocked cradles with care

Now guide grandchildren with wisdom to share

Eyes that have seen decades come and go

Still sparkle with love and a youthful glow

On this special day, we pause to reflect

On the lives they've lived, the paths they've trekked

They've weathered the storms of a long, full life

Their stories are treasure chests of old

Filled with lessons more precious than gold

Of resilience, of courage, of love that endures

Of simple pleasures and life's simple cures

The laughter they've shared, and yes, the tears

For in their journey, we see our own

The seeds of our future, already sown

We extend our hands, our hearts today

For their worth isn't measured in strength or in youth

But in kindness, in wisdom, in living their truth

Let's celebrate age, let's cherish these sages

Who've turned life's rough drafts into beautiful pages

In their slow steps and soft-spoken ways

Lies the gentle power that still holds sway

World Day for Grandparents and Elderly, we say

Is not just a moment, but a call to convey

Our love, our respect, our gratitude deep

For the legacy of love that they help us to keep
