Rick&family,
Goodbyes are not forever
And nor is it the end
When angels come to call away
A loved one or a friend.
The empty place that's left behind
Within this world we know
Reminds us just how brief a stay
We have before we go.
So when it's time to bid farewell
To one we'll dearly miss
Let's just say we'll meet again
and promise them with this.....
The true gift is that love remains
Although we now must part...
Until forever and beyond
I'll keep you in my heart.

Rick&family,
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.
