To turn smoothly, the stiff handle of life
To ring the bell before troubles in life
Just to paddle us ahead with your wife
You repaired bikes not to race in life
The oil-patched face glittered everyday
When you see the results and used to pray
I gave up everything without a delay
After your decease, it’s hard to say.
You never liked, here, to see my hands
They’re turning grey and harsh like sand
Every wheel every tire lined of woe
Sobbing every minute “it was a hard blow”
Screws and nuts never help me
They are very stubborn, need your aid
It’s our mother that laments over us
An aging princess weeps in the kitchen

thank you very much Jabo @jaboUK. being honest this not my personal experience but I saw a family who undergoes these kind of hardships. most of the facts are not real. they are facts that i've imagined.
thanks for your response.

@kevinakash Whether it's real or not, you've written a beautiful poem that had me believing that it WAS real - that's the sign of a good writer.
