Nico’s Poem

As time goes by memories can fade

But some stay close in a special place

More protected than valuables in a locked box

Outlasting all the swirly shells and pearly rocks

Underneath the warm glow of memory

About a love unforced; unobligatory

Is the peace and rest in all the time spent

The feeling of ‘home’ without paying a rent

Much more than could be measured in quantity

But quality that would topple a scale

By which we might try to measure a friend

The kind of generosity that helps a heart to mend

I’ve found that some people bring you to Jesus

In gentleness - without a point or push

By emanating a part your spirit needs

Brought to Him by a heart that unconsciously leads

To have known this was a beautiful blessing

A rare treasure nothing can take away

So deeply engraved there’s a permanent impression

Surely God’s divine expression
