This isn't meant to be a great poem. I was just getting my feelings out.
It doesn't feel like Christmas
without you.
True, we have a tree,
lights and smiles
But we're missing
Exchanging records
at Barnes and Noble,
Standing in a crazy long line
at Burlington
You playing videos,
Snapping pictures
of food
So it can be 'liked'
on Facebook.
We would choose your card
with Snoopy & Peanuts.
Rory misses Uncle Noisy
who talks loud
and plays even louder,
You lived loud.
Now we look for you
In abstract ideas,
that there's you
in a sunbeam or rainbow,
placed in the perfect place,
at the right time.
Nicky hangs out with you
in his dreams
where he's showing you
truths about your past
and you're teaching him
about another world.
If only things could be different.
It's just not Christmas
without you,
Jimi Black.

We are heartbroken and still can't believe you are not with us.
Love,
Nicky and Adrienne

To the entire Black family... Nicky, Adrienne and Tessie... I am so very very sorry you lost such a good hearted soul so soon. His talent and smiling face will be missed by all who knew him... and especially by us in the bank.
