I saw the old man as I walked by
In the nursing home hallway today
I stopped to say good  Morning
He just stared and turned away

I stood wondering where he was
That made him so aloof from me
Sitting by him was an old yearbook
It was dated nineteen forty three

I opened it up and set it before him
As his fingers traced over the faces
His countenance seemed to soften
He was transported to other places

I tried to softly converse with him
But he gently shooed me aside
I suddenly became very aware I was
An intruder he did not wish to invite

He is  in a time of his own choosing
And  I know he's very content there
What seems sad or out of place to me
May definitely be non of my affair

So I simply go about my business
Visiting my son who also lives there
He is having a decent day and I thank
God for all these moments we share
