An elder man, With a heart of gold,
a touching smile,and a willing soul.
Albert would greet each day with a grin
hiding the pain that was dwelling within.
He started to slip couldn't remember a face,
a child, a grandchild, a time or a place.
The things he had admired the people he met
were memories hethought he could never forget.
The life he once knew was a story once told,
Albert was robbed of a life's worth of goals.
His childhood dreams now faded away
away further and further with each passing day
Albert is gone now but, his memory remains
in the hearts of his loved ones
But it's just not the same.
