A Very Special Poem For Albert
Albert you were an inspiration to my life
you were like my second father
you had taught me to keep the ancient words
from Genesis to Revelation
strapped to my heart like a locket
Remember on Sunday mornings
I used to rest my miniature body
into your lap like a furry little kitten
massaging your bald played head
while everyone looked on with envy
and labeled me your little pet
Albert thank you for being the shepherd
of your flock of sheep
you had watched mother
sprung up from childhood to womanhood
Albert thank you for all of the memories
you have in my life
I will always cherish every minute of those
We thank you for all of the time
you had spent with us here in earth
and I hope we will meet you again
on the golden shore in the heavenly skies above us
