Think of memory as a bunch of mailboxes. The value is what's in the mailbox and the address is the number of the mailbox.
That prob sucked but its all I could come up with.
actually it's pretty good... so, with a pointer, you can always keep up with what information is at that address, even though the variable using that information may change, the pointer will always keep up with what information is at THAT address?
