I'm amazed at all the people
Who came to say their goodbyes.
They are pretty old, it made me think
They must've known you for longer than I.
A quarter of a century isn't much
When you're almost eighty years.

Look at all the black rimmed mail
Stuffed into your letter box.
There are so many letters and cards,
A lot of people love and miss you.
A third of a century is much
When you're major the whole time.

You wife and now widow smiles
While I can't fight all the tears.
She's convinced you're not gone but changed rooms
Waiting until she will follow you.
Half of a century is gold
When you're in love the whole time.
Had to think of The Thing About Things  today and htis is the result.
I call my grandfather, he doesn't answer and I have to make piece with this fact.
Its' the thing about things, that they can start meaning something nobody actually said.
