The Grandfather's House.

The Grandfather's House in Main Street...

Is looking unhappy today. The windows

and door are closed. For sleep. For sadness.

Even the doormat is looking down.

As if it's placed in a permanent frown.

The house, it looks, so sad today.

For the grandfather has gone away.

He always sat quietly in his favourite chair.

In that favoured place, in front of the fire.

The grandfather closed his weary eyes.

Sometime in the night. The grandfather died.

The house. It looks so sad today.

Because the grandfather has gone away!
