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.

"Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". "I go to prepare a place for you." I pray that Jesus' words provide comfort for Great Aunt Ollie's family and friends during the coming days. For she is surely in a better place and she is no longer in any pain. Great Aunt Ollie has gotten the victory!!
