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.

To all of Joe's loved ones,
Even though it was years ago, I had the pleasure of working with Joe at Arby's "North" on Brook Road. Joe called everybody "Dawg" long before anyone ever heard of Randy Jackson, so we all called him "Joe Dawg"! Joe always had something funny to say and made some very long days at work go by a little faster. The little group who worked together back then was like a little family and when I think back on that time I remember Joe very fondly. He made the world a happier place, at least for me!
I know you all will miss him greatly!
