What I will be doing at ninety two?
I shall be with my children along with my wife too.
We will spend time with grand children together,
Life thus will be least boring but full of happiness ever.
We will take care of babies when their parents are away,
We will look after their study, helping them to do home work anyway,
We will take them along the morning walk,
We will watch them play with friends while we talk.
Fond memories of our childhood will flash before our minds’ eye
While children play we will enjoy the blue morning sky.
We will help the toddlers walk holding our hand with firmness and fervor.
There would not be any worries and anxieties for daily bread and butter.
Our sons and daughters will take care of these,
We will only be waiting for Heaven’s call spending time at ease,
Hope God will take us to Him when we are active.
We do not want to bother others lying on bed passive,
This is the prayer to God from both of us,
smoothly from the world to let us pass.

At ninety two, I shall dream of petrol and diesel and natural gas, as without them We will have to suffer,
Richest among the riches can afford to move in a car and have light for their supper.
Compared to real diamond Coal the black diamond must be far costlier,
The country having the coal will be the undisputed supremo and the world leader
I must be repenting tor my misdeeds on my past energy expenditure,
I must be swearing in the name of God that I shall never repeat the folly in future.
There will be surly emergency for energy,
To find a substitute to coal and oil everybody must be busy.
We have to complete all works before the dusk on urgency,
Light will be rationed and may be available only for critical emergency,
The coaching camps and training school mist be in galore,
To train the mankind how to live with least energy will only be the course for the lecture.
The man to day in jungle will be the professor and the highest degree holder,
The history and geography of the lives of their ancestor will be the lesson for future.
the training to lead a life of today’s man in the forest,
Everybody must be trying their best to learn and practice this life at right earnest.
The research work on renewable energy must be at the peak,
For flow of the energy from sun across the globe there will be many a technique.
The fight for selfish end of right to property must have seen their end.
All across the globe must have been forced for being one, with shoulder to shoulder, and together for survival, the crisis they must be wholeheartedly trying to attend.

I am grateful to the author for choosing such title,
as it was a wish for my long life and to prepare to face my nineties’ battle.
As I have thirty years of journey to travel,
I must get prepared for my health, wealth in ample.
Regular visit to health club doctor and dietitian have become my passion,
Nurturing friendship with kids the future youth and strength has become my obsession.
Strict vigil on food has improved my present health,
No stone is being left unturned to ensure my material wealth.
To spend time I have started reading and writing poetry,
and developed friendship over the net for such society.
All such attempts have improved my present health and charms,
and I am confident to pull on till my end with same enthusiasm.
