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.

F is for Familiar . . .there is no place like home.
A is for always welcome, no matter how far you roam.
M is for memories, more cherished each day.
I is for inspiration given along the way.
L is for the Love felt each time we all gathered.
Y is for the years to come, for family is forever.

Woodward Family,

May the memories of your loving brother live on in your hearts.

We will remember only the good times and the laughter, And never the suffering and pain, that is no more.

Sincerely,

What is it to die, but to stand naked in the wind and melt into the Sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek the universe.
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the Earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
