Timeless

Timeless

A silver pocket watch

with the figure of a deer ,

coated in gold.

The clock stopped ticking

many years ago.

The ticking stopped,

Just like the heart

of a gentle old man,

who lived a remarkable life,

to the very end.

The legacy he left,

much like his old watch,

is timeless.

The love he gave to all he met,

irrefutable.

The world stood still

when this sweet man passed.

So many left

with the memory of his kindness

deep in our hearts.

Though frail and old,

he never stopped smiling.

Even in death,

he had a gentle smile on his face,

grateful to go.

Grateful to be

with his beloved Mary,

who had passed,

years before him, a timeless vision

of radiance.

He is always missed,

even after all of these years.

But, like his silver watch,

with the golden deer in the woods,

the thoughts of him are timeless.
