When I'm old

I translated the chinese version to english version. This letter is very meaningfull, from dad to his son. Original from Mexico

When I am Old

When I’m old, It will be difference from usual
Please understand me, be patient


When I pour the soup on my cloth,
When I forgot how to tied my shoe lace,
Please recall how I teach you when you was young


When I keep repeating the word that you felt boring
Please be patient, listen to me, and do not break my sentence
When you are young
I have to repeat the story for more than million time,
Until you felled asleep


When I need your help to shower me,
Please do not blame me
Do you remember how I shower you when you were young?


When I feel lost about the new technology,
Please do not laugh at me.
Think back how I answer your every WHY patiently


When my leg are weak and can’t walk anymore,
Please lend me your hand and hold me up.
Just like the way I hold you when you are learning


When I suddenly forgot about our conversation,
Please spare me some time to recall.
Actually conversation is not important for me
So long as you were here to listen, I feel satisfied.


When you realise I’m getting old, please do not feel sad.
Understand me, support me,
Just like the way I treat you when you start to learn how to live in new life


I teach and bring you to the correct human path
Now, please walk with me till the end.
Give me your love and patient,
I will pay back with my smile
This smile frozen my love to you
