He Lived To A Great Age

He lived to a great age he was ninety four But sad to think him I will see never more On the parkland pathway walking quite slow He greeted friend and stranger with a cheerful hello Pre-deceased by his wife by two decades of years Though anytime he spoke of her he seemed close to tears To him she was devoted and a loving wife And he loved her as his soul mate and the love of his life Ten times a great granddad his genes living on And memories of him will live for years though the breath of life from him gone He enjoyed human company and he could laugh at a joke And he will be sadly missed by all who knew him the lovely old bloke With his wife's remains his remains in the town cemetery lay And for each one of us there's a last night and day.
