I worked with Charlie from 1968 until 2004 and we had plenty of laughs together, as well as the many company BBQ'S where we would spend the night along with several others doing the cooking. I am sorry to hear of his illness and death.

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.
