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 am so sorry for your lose. She left a lacy for us to fellow, that is matter what trust in Jesus Christ. She never complained about anything but, she had a great sense of humor. She would joke around and have fun playing games. She was a sweet woman of God.
