In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures that I carry wherever you 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 the Smalls Family
Life is here and suddenly gone
for some it's short, for others long.
The answer lies beyond our reach
it's for us to learn and not to teach
Jesus is with us in times we mourn
Has never left us since we were born
With loving arms He comforts the soul
and puts our lives back into control
A time of joy and a time to weep
promises forever our soul He'll keep
Know our heart goes out to you
yet we know He'll see you through
Fond farewells to Leon "Lee" Smalls.
May he rest in peace.
With Deepest Sympathy!
