Old people


You see them sitting on benches.
You see them in supermarkets.
You see them on buses.
You see them in parks.
They fill the hospitals.

They all but disappear in winter.

In summer you see more of them.

In our modern world we have pushed them to the margins.

We do not want to be reminded by them, that we too one day will be old.

Yes, one day it will be your turn.

What will you be thinking while you sit on that bench?

Will you have peace of mind?
