A Tribute to JR a real Baja Guy


JR

As the earth dwindles
Thieves take hold
I wander around collecting

More valuable than gold
Just bits and pieces
Gathered here and there

Throughout the years
A shell, a stone
Pictures by the ton

Stories and memories
Friends
Around a campfire

Collecting stories
A bit of truth, an exaggeration
Sorrow and fun

Sounds and thoughts
Shoulders touch
Laughter and caring

Means so much
Boils down to good times
Memories and such

Sitting, listening
Looking on faces
Quiet thoughts


Earth dwindles
Thieves take hold
Wandering, confused

Fading, diminished
Magic dwindling
Mi Baja

This is the 4th time


I have been moved to tears, reading about JR.

And I never even met the guy.
And I occasionally locked horns with him.

Yes, there was something very transcendental about this man known as JR.

Thanks, Bernie. I believe you captured the dichotomy that was JR very well.
