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

Yes.
Thank You, Bernie
It does seem weird without him around, doesnt it?
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.
Good on ya!
