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.

Martha,

We didn't see each other very much after your high school graduation, but we still remained friends for over 45 years, with a phone call now and then, and a Christmas or birthday card here and there.

I remember you being in the band and my being a majorette and all the crazy times we had @ football games and on band trips. I remember going to your house and your mom playing solitaire. (She taught me a few solitaire games I still play.) I remember your grandma cheatin' playing cards - but she was grandma and no one would ever tell her. (Talk about respecting your elders!)

You were always such a kind and gentle person. One of the few people that understood me and my craziness (sometimes!)

You know, I came across the necklace you gave me back in 1962. You had printed Terri on the front and had it signed, Marti '62 on the back.

You were just too young. You still had a lot to offer the world. But, you're in a good place now - making sure your grandma doesn't cheat at cards anymore! Right! Right! (Remember, the second RIGHT is yours!!!!)
