Many years have passed 

Many lives have gone

Time moves very very fast

But I'm still moving on 

said the old man at the museum

The old mans name is Walt 

He was a fireman long ago

His mind is like a vault 

I'll tell you what I know 

said the old man at the museum

He talks about what life was like

As a fireman on the job

Some things were good and some were bad 

And some would make you sob

Said the old man at the museum

I'm grateful that I met this man

And learned about his past

Firemen have special live

"I've always had a blast" 

Said the old man at the museum

Walt is a guy that volunteers at the San Antonio fire museum with my father and I and after spending time with Walt I decided I would write a ballad about him. Well I ended up making a copy of it and putting it in a frame as a present for him. When I gave it to him his face lit up with joy seeing that I wrote something for him. I am very lucky to be able to spend time working with him.

This is also the last one I am writing for now I may or may not write more later on though.
