A humble man made of stone
Albert was his name
How he mesmerised the crowds
And from far and wide they came

Such wonder and excitement
On the faces all around
As you moved around so slowly
Without making a single sound

Entranced we all were
With your charming grey face
Perched upon a box
Was where you stood in place

A single red carnation
You'd bestow with such delight
Some bubbles you would blow
How they'd catch the sun's warm light

The children stood transfixed
Unsure what to make of you
But underneath your coat of stone
Lay a heart so warm and true

So if ever I need a lift
Or am feeling sad and blue
I know what will make me smile
A visit to the city to see you

To build your life
on memories thus
is to breathe life
defying melancholy
with gifts of light

very wise

I have a friend who once said-"Sooner or later, Death makes a believer out of just about everyone."
