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.

Poko,
I am going to miss you bunches. I am going to miss your cooking advice, your homemade remedies, our little spats about which side of the world is "God's Country". I am so glad that you finally got to meet your great-grandson Little Lyle. I only wish that we would have had more of a chance to spend some time together, and you could have told me more things about your adventures in life. But I was able to take after you with your Golden Gloves Poko! I love you and I miss you so much already. Please say hello to my father and keep him safe with you.
Lots of love,
Brenda Jean
