Old Stefan

The years have left him looking weary and gray
The old bloke from stockholm from here far away
He will end his days under an Aussie sky
Far south of Sweden even as the bird does fly
His Aussie wife Kate in her eternal rest lay
The bond of love between them even on her last day
And the years are showing on octogenarian  Stefan
Though he looks well for one in the twilight of his life span
On his eighty fourth year his best days he has seen
His oldest great grandchild a dad at nineteen
An aged migrant one without regret
There are years of living on old Stefan yet
On the sixth of august next year he will be eighty five
His favourite saying is 'tis great to be alive.
