Wishing you didn't have to go,
I'll miss you more than you'll ever know.
You took a piece of my heart,
which you had from the very start.
Even though we didn't see each other much,
I still loved you a whole bunch.
Until we meet again,
then my heart will surely mend.

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.

When I think of my uncle all I see in my memory is that big beautiful smile. He always had an extra smile to share and that's what I will miss the most.
