Old Folk
Old folk, struggling through life such a shame
Worked all their lives, paid all their dues
Wearing old clothes, from second hand stores
Scuffling around in odd shoes
Old folk, gentle friendly and kind
Hoping for someone to call
Watching TV, for company
Staring at the same four walls
Old folk, sitting at home all alone
Their family and friends are long gone
Old black and white photographs to remember the past
Growing old is really no fun
Old folk, waiting in the cold for a bus
Politely discussing the weather
Telling stories of times that were better
Just pleased for the chance to converse
Old folk, wrapped up in a rug to keep warm
Huddled in the corner of a chair
Baked beans on toast for their lunch
Wishing that someone would care
