Sid and Joan

Remember Sid and Joan the old couple down the road

oh then had fun

yes they did

he work in his garden

keeping it a tidy as can be

 

and Joan she sit outside

with a cup of tea

and hard copy of women own

blowing in the breeze

she fall asleep

and Sid

would

gently take it out of her hand

and put a blanket over her

so when she wake up

she would not feel cold

 

they always had a smile on there faces

say hi to passer by

and at the setting of the sun

when the day was done

they pack up and go inside

and have there tea

and talk about how they day had been

and then at ten o'clock you see

the bed light gone off

 

I think they once had a son

and a daughter

but she live far away

there son was young

and full of life

but one terrible

winter night

he car went off the road

they rush up to the hospial 

but It was too late

he had already pass away

I hear they held each other

tight saying it hurts

but it will be alright

 

oh that was some years ago

time goes fast

so very fast

and before we know it

we are old

and our bone hurt even in the sun

 

but for Sid and Joan

they never lost

the love they had

they

kept on smiling

 

I remember at Christmas time

they say come over

and have some Christmas cake

and some Christmas cheer

 

they were always in there garden always

but as time went on

it got hard for them to move

then one day

they had to leave

the stair got to much for them you see

they move in with there daughter

 

Christmas cards we exchanged and we remember about the old days

and then one day

a letter came

from there daughter

to say that they gone into a home

it was so hard

for her to do

but they were happy

she said still smiling

years went by

and a another

letter came

to say that

they had died

it was so sad

 

but then I remember

when I walk pass and they say hi to me

Sid and Joan

and now happy family are in there home once again

and looking after the garden and sitting in the garden

just like Sid and Joan
