Goodbye, old friend, the world awaits
To show me sights first hand
That you have me taught ages past
The wonder of strange lands
And filled my head with dreams
That I was fated to pursue
In short, the path my future takes
Is chiefly down to you
You fired such an ambition
In my soul to see the world
That I really never doubted
How my life would be unfurled
So, as the fuelling lines
Are disconnected from the craft
I´ll miss our cosy fireside chats
Your deep infectious laugh
Filled with such curiosity
I questioned everything
You never failed to answer
And fixed me with a grin
Farewell old man, but I´ll be back
No reason to be sad
I´ll bring you tales to rival yours
Grandpa, I never had
