The Gramps
When you get older and put out to graze,
When kids grow and move to a new phase.
When they need help with kids of their own,
When they realize what they chose for you,
When the light dawns, it will be them soon too.
So remember your folks as you age yourself.
Never ever leave them sat on the shelf.
For the day may come when you have to atone,
Because they will be gone and your left all alone.
