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.

May God Bless you and your family. I wanted to take the time to tell each and everyone of you how blessed I had gotten to know Sam from work and as a 2nd father to me.

I know I was blessed to have a father figure in my life for the past 2 and a half years, and I know he's in a wonderful place watching all of us. I could write a book on Sam, but I want everyone to know especially his sons how honored I was to meet an...
