The old man walked the streets of town
He waved and smiled at all.
The kids laughed and jeered at him
And unkind names did call.

But I knew John for many years
We went to school way back when.
He was very smart and handsome
And popular too back then.

He had a girl named Jenny
Whom he did adore.
She promised to wait for him
When he went off to war.

He came home from the war
with a medal  pinned to his chest.
And the whole town greeted him
And his good deeds did address.

But Jenny had married another
And John just sent her a card
Saying I hope you're happy
And sending his regards.

Now I knew his heart was broken
But he never mentioned it again.
He went on with his life
But his heart did never mend.

He went to work  each morn
And back home alone  each day.
A mundane life til he retired
It was his choosen way.

That's when he started walking
I guess  to flee the lonliness that he felt.
He deserved  much better than that
They say, we play  the cards we're dealt

John just passed away last week
and the obit said he had no kin
But Every one in town showed up
To pay their last  respects to him.

Perhaps when we have enough, someone should take all that you have contributed and publish them.  It would be neat to see you become rich and famous, Katy...
