This is a notable testation of a father to his son which shakes the conscience of a sagacious person. It needed to be looked into comprehensively and youngsters should pay special attention into their attitude towards parents in its light.
The man addressing his son advised him:
“The time is not far away when you see be old.
This will change my behavior which will be illogical for you.
My Son! You need to remain cool, calm and show patience at the time so that you can understand me.
This will be time when my hands will tremble and food will fall on my chest.
I will be unable to myself wear clothes then.
Then you have to remember the gone years when I used to teach you something that I can’t do today.
At the time, if I talk to you again and again and make you remember again and again, please do not get angry and blame you.
Because, just to make you happy in your childhood, I have repeated so many things and stories for you. And you always asked me again and again when you were young, sorry, don’t interrupt me now.
If I don’t seem beautiful now, or you don’t smell good from me, then blame me. Don’t be a man
Remember, when I was young I tried so hard to make you beautiful and fragrant.
Don’t laugh at my ignorance and lack of understanding like I had in youth.
Rather, you need to become my eyes and brain so that I can find the things that are left behind by me.
Dear son, I am the one who taught you, I taught you to face and lead life
Today, how do you teach me about right and wrong, what to do and what not to do?
Please don’t get wearied of my forgetfulness, slowness of language and thoughts during your conversation. Now, my happiness is only in being with you
Just help me spend what I need I still know what I want.
When my feet will not be able to take me where I want
Then do remember and favor as I held your hand enough so as help you to walk.
Don’t shy to hold my hand today, as tomorrow you will also be holding someone’s hand. At this age, I know that I am not coming as close to life as you are. But I am waiting for death.
Son, support me, do not be my opponent.
If you think or remember some of my mistakes, know that I have always wanted nothing but your best interests.
Right now, it is the best thing you can do for me is to forgive and to cover up my mistakes. May God forgive you and bless you.
Dear son, your laughter and smile still make me happy as they did when I was young. Do not deprive me of your company.
Son! When you were born, I was with you.
So when I die, you will be with me.
