Ageing tree


A coconut tree older than me in our garden! 

The tree bears all the signs of ageing!

It has been without fruits for three yers now!

It yielded fruits for over sixty five years. 

It is the tallest tree in our garden garden. It is a flight station for many birds. The tree is still serving a purpose! 

Senior citizens are like this. They  remind us of the history thus far and provide us shelter and comfort when we find ourselves weary and bereft!
