In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I was so sorry to hear of Louise's passing. I visited her several times at The Orchard and she was such fun to talk with. I know she will be missed by many. My thoughts are with you all.

Louise and my mother Agnes Flournoy used to have good times sitting on Agnes' porch in the evening and drink iced tea.
The Baughan family is a very nice family and all of them who have passed will be dearly missed
