Found this so called "poem"

当我老了, 不再是原来的我。
请理解我, 对我有一点耐心。

当我把菜汤倒到自己的衣服上时,
当我忘记怎么系鞋带时,
请想一想当初我是如何手把手的教你。

当我一遍又一遍的重复你已听腻的话语,
请耐心地听我说,不要打断我。
你小的时候,我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事,直到你进入梦乡。

当我需要你帮我洗澡时,请不要责备我。
还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗?

当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时,请不要嘲笑我。
想一想当初我怎样耐心的回答你的每一个为什么。

当我由于双脚疲劳而无法行走时,请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。
就像你小时候学习走路时,我扶你那样。

当我忽然忘记我们谈话的话题,请给一些时间让我回想。
其实对我来说,谈论什么并不重要,
只要你能在一旁听我说,我就很满足。

当你看着老去的我,请不要悲伤。
理解我,支持我,就像你刚开始。
学习如何生活时我对你那样。

当初我引导你走上人生的路,
如今请陪伴我走完最后的路。
给我你的爱和耐心,我会报以感激的微笑。
这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。

I found the translated part for the above "poem"

Parents Wish

To Our Dear Child:
On the day when you see us old, weak and weary,
Have patience and try to understand us.

If we get dirty when eating,
If we can not dress on our own,
Please bear with us and remember the times we spent feeding and dressing you up.

If when we speak to you, we repeat the same things over and over again, do not interrupt us, listen to us,
When you were small, we had to read to you the same story a thousand and one times until you went to sleep.

When we do not want to have a shower, neither shame nor scold us,
Remember when we had to chase you with your thousand excuses to get you to the shower.

When you see our ignorance of new technologies, help us navigate our way through those worldwide webs,

We taught you how to do so many things, to eat the right foods, to dress appropriately, to fight for your rights.

When at some moments we lose the memory or the thread of our conversation, let us have the necessary time to remember and if we cannot, do not become nervous as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to us.

If ever we do not feel like eating, do not force us, we know ell when we need to and when not to eat.

When our tired legs give way and do not allow us to walk without a cane,
Lend us your hand, the same way we did when you tried your first faltering steps.

And when someday we say to you that we do not want to live anymore, that we want to die.
Do not get angry cause someday you will understand.
Try to understand that our age is not just lived but survived.

Someday you will realize that despite our mistakes,
We always wanted the best for you and we tried to prepare the way for you.

You must not feel sad, angry nor ashamed for having us near you but instead try to understand us and help us like we did when you were young.

Help us to walk, help us to live the rest of our life with love and dignity,
We will pay you with a smile and by the immense love,
We have always had for you in our hearts

We love you child.

Mom and Dad
