Respect for the Aged

Every wrinkle is a story, every gray hair a crown....

Today we bow our heads to the elders who carried us through storms, who built homes from ashes, who gave us warmth when the world felt cold. Every wrinkle on their face is a story. Every tired hand is a sacrifice. Every smile hides years of struggle… and love beyond measure.

Let us not forget them.

Let us not leave them lonely. Respect them. Cherish them. Hold their hands while we still can. For one day, we too will stand in their place. And when that day comes… may we be remembered with the same love we give today.
