De Heideroosjes
Nothing for free
Grandpa was eighty, still very strong physically
Went from home to church every Sunday on foot
He sat in front of the window for days, greeting everyone
/>Always children over, people around him
But one day grandson decided, grandfather was too old
He bought the house and then renovated it
Grandpa was transported to a retirement flat
He was given a room with a bed on the thirteenth floor
Grandpa certainly had no shortage of care
A meal three times a day and sometimes a short conversation
But grandpa missed his house , his window, and his street
The neighborhood in which his life is located, where his house is located
But grandpa is tucked away, cleaned up and dropped down
Thanks for your work, you can go now
Grandpa has been preserved and excluded from society
Your time is now over, you can go now
Once a year grandson comes by again
A short visit, it always means something wrangs
Grandson talks about the business, his wife, the house
That house in that nice neighborhood, that was grandpa's home
Grandson says 'Grandpa, I had to go again'
The coffee is not finished yet, but the duty is done anyway
And grandpa quietly thinks, what did I do to deserve this?
Deep inside grandpa, it is his heart that is crying very loudly
Grandpa has died , he couldn't handle it anymore
Worked hard all his life and then he had to go
Grandpa was slowly murdered and that took a year
But grandson is happy in that house in that nice neighborhood ...
