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.
