Jack and Me

~By Asenia L McConnell


Jack grew up quite different from me.
His life hard at times, while mine was wild and free.

As years passed Jack went his way and I went mine.
Jack had two children, as did I.

We'd see one another from time to time.
Mostly in the summertime.

Too quickly come the summer of 1999.
I received word that Jack was dying.

I made the trip to Falls City that warm, sunny March day.
Jack and I laughed and talked, we had lots to say.

As we embraced and kissed good-bye.
I knew God had a plan, I could see it in Jack's eyes.

The drive home was a sad one for me.
Weary tears flowed so freely.

I will always miss Jack, for you see.
The same blood ran through our veins.
Jack and Me
