| He came to me for a cup of water Too frail to fill the cup and drink from it, His hands were shaking, He was truly old He could not hold his cup to drink from it I didn’t feel comfortable asking him, how old he was? He was really old I managed to ask him where he lives Silence was his reply, may be not heard Does he own a place, I am not quite sure He then asked me to find a place that’s cheap Just for him to sleep for a night that cold He has got money to pay for that night Too tired to travel back to his own place Oh! Then he got some where to go, at last I found some places on the internet He called them one by one over the phone No surprise, all too expensive for him Kept trying different numbers, no luck It’s too much for that night to pay, he said Too much to pay for a bed and a sheet Don’t worry, I will catch my train back home Some one will wake me up, if I fall asleep I am too old for this city, he said Too old for every corner, can’t fit me in !! |
