THE CHAIR

THE CHAIR

 

 

YOU WALK PASSED IT EVERY DAY

 

TO YOU ITS JUST AN OLD CHAIR

 

BUT THINK OF THE STORIES

IT COULD TELL

 

OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAME

AND SAT THERE

 

 ALL THE JOY

 ALL THE LAUGHTER

 

ALL THE PAIN

ALL THE TEARS

 

 ALL THE PEOPLE

YOU NEVER SAW AGAIN

 

AT ONE TIME

THEY SAT THERE

 

CHRISTMAS PAST

AND BIRTHDAYS TOO

 

GRAND KIDS

SITTING ON THEIR GRANDADS KNEE

 

HOW SAD

NOW ALL GONE

 

BUT SOME HOW

THAT BLOODY CHAIRS

STILL HERE

 

ITS HEARD OF BIRTHS

ITS HEARD OF DEATHS

DIVORCES MARRIAGES

AND THE REST

 

ALL LIFE ITS SEEN

BUT NEVER TOLD

 

OH HOW MANY PEOPLE

HAVE SAT THERE
