"Go visit the old ones,
with empty hands
free to caress them.

They need so little,
the crumbs of bread
or the bruised fruit
picked up from under the tree.

Bring a kind word to the old,
they will devour it feeling useless.

Even a small handkerchief
can be enough for them.

They have tears without weeping as soon as they are alone.

Make them feel important,
so they don't think they are a burden.

Go visit the old ones,
stay and talk with them,
let them tell you that fairy tale again.

Love the old ones,
let them die of love.
