1895

1895
is when my grandfather was born
long ago for sure
and his sons and daughters surely timeworn
my mother doesnt look it
but its a strange connection indeed
over one hundred years a span
a family stretching beyond belief
and i am the third in the family
the generation of here
they were teh first to come to the country
in my childhood years
i am told of his sotries as a worker
his parents died whilst young
and he as a child had to work
for food certainly not fun
medals were awarded and he worked with companies
that were critical to indias success
tata iron and steel was the place
where he was known for being the best
he never didi go to school for he
was called to work right away
and then of course he'd go to work
and never miss a day
i never met my grandfather
he's meant to have died when i was young
perhaps before i dont really know
but thats certainly a sad song to be sung
none the less i know of him now
and he seems like a cool guy
and as far as this aging thing seems to go
we all seem to be yong for life
at least in the mind if you dont resign
yoruself to the idea youre going to be dead
instead let yourself do all sorts of things
all those ideas in your head
aftere all this is the point of having a life
considered well lived
and so you go forth and do what you can
to make your happiness bid
and perhaps focus upon what you like
and do what you know
keep yourself working hard
and your joy will surely grow
