A Lonely Grandpa's Lament


--------------------
We walked hand in hand
In the rose garden
The thorns were there
But we didn't see

We commuted mostly standing
in the local bus
The crowd was there
But we didn't make a fuss

We talked while we waited
in those long movie queues
We saw the movie
Even if it had bad reviews

But
Once God took you away
The way I see,
  is no longer the same
Problems Problems everywhere
Everybody I want to blame
Awkward door, creaking floor
Dripping tap,  intermittent nap
Morning alarm, traffic swarm
Long queues, irritating news

O why didn't you take me
along with you my dear
Please request God
To get me out of here
