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.


Dear Mom,
We miss your smile, your sense of humor, and how you’re always “Fine.” You are in our hearts and thoughts forever.
Love, Gary and Rae
