Jack And Renie

In his long lived life he never harmed anyone
His mother and father in him raised a good son
Loved by all who knew him on his side of the town
Jack in word or in deed never put anyone down

He never had children or never had a wife
But in his seventies he fell in love with Renie the love of his life
For years they lived together they now rest in peace
For all of us from life a final release

To be in love in their eighties and be kind to others their claim to renown
I often see Jack in his white ute with Renie driving on the streets of the town
With his old dog Rosie a brown, white and black
Content in her old age sitting in the back

Though they were many years past their physical prime
My fond memories does remain undimmed by time
Of the people who performed good deeds every day
And to help others often went out of their way

Never more for to be seen in the flesh again
And only the memories now does remain
Of people who fell in love when they were old
And surely their story deserves to be told.
