KEEP HER CLOSE
You are now old and feeble Lakhan, your head is getting bald, and hair is gray
You know you have reached your use by date and are not fit for pulling a dray
Time has flown and so has your youth your limbs are now very supple
Your eyes are getting weaker and you have begun to see things in double
Life was better on the farm when you were jumping up and down the gully
Life became a bore when you stopped the physical work fully
All the shortcomings were well managed when you had your lovely wife around
She has now departed for good your peace and potency cannot be found
Your wife was your life so strong in mind, body and all her disposition
Wake up old man revive your old habits and try to change your position
Peace and order in old age come with love, care and discipline that she held
Give her the honour and do not let any tears fall keep them all withheld
Let the pretty lotus enjoy her slumber no matter what season comes and goes
You mind your own business and do what is needed to keep her close.
