They came When we put Gran in The ground.
They came When Grandad went to join her.
They also came When it was mum's turn To leave.
They introduce themselves With 'I bet you don't remember me' and 'how are you sweet heart' followed by 'I was your gran/grandad/mum's... Friend/neighbour/employee'.
You smile politely Share a few laughs And pleasant memories Before you say goodbye To whoever they are Knowing full well You'll see them again When it's someone else's Turn
To die.
