No "sir"
No “sir”
It is nice to be addressed as sir
It adds to glory with different color
Person feels proud with achievement
Nice to rejoice with happy moments
Generally we give respected to aged persons
It has some feeling with reasons
We have parents at home and it reminds us of their presence
We respect any one when see them by chance
It has remained our tradition to accord honor
Either with excellence in field
Or some high position held
It is traditional to be specialist for any one in the field
Let people honor your age
It is token gesture when written on page
What else they can offer?
As they have seen you struggle and suffer
Not age alone grants you respect
Even though that has come to you in fact
People see in you a great strength
Take as much advantage as possible before you meet death
So let them have opportunity to address
See the smile and honor on your face
Tomorrow they may feel proud in having you as sir
As the time, days and even may pass the years
It is humbleness on the part of person
When addressed like sir with reasons
It takes away little closeness from the people
So it has to be with frankness without any trouble
It is good when someone is placed at the top
There should not be an attempt by any one to stop
Let people feel proud to find one among them
To be known as diamond and priceless gem
