Hello to all,
First of all, thank you for the opportunity to share something special about my little boy, Logan Zackary Reed (4/21/01-8/19/05). I am sharing a poem I wrote shortly after Logan passed that means so much to me as it says alot about him - his funny little "ways" and such. I do have it published on his website at
www.loganzackaryreed.memory-of.com along with many others. If you'd like to visit I know Logan would love to meet you! Thanks again and I hope you enjoy the poem.
Sincerely,
Beverly Koch - Logan's mommy
Where Does Mommy Keep Her Memories?

Where does mommy keep her memories?
In a box worn beyond repair,
Tucked inside are memories,
Ask and she will gladly share.

Tattered valentines “to mommy with love”
Nestled at the bottom, rests an old glove.
Stickers boasting “Super & Job Well Done”
Crayon drawings of the “banana” moon and sun.

Macaroni shells that once formed a flower,
The flashlight used when we always lost “power”.
A baby picture smudged with kisses,
Cards “signed” by Logan with loving wishes.

The ring he was to give to “Mary Jane”,
Bubba’s yearbook that he left out in the rain.
A Baby book containing his first lock of hair,
The camouflage jacket that he loved to wear.

Where does mommy keep her memories?
In a box this precious cargo rests.
Reminders she will cherish and keep safely,
This box of love is her treasure chest.

Then there are those memories everywhere you look,
Adorning every wall, are pictures that we took.
Outside are the gator and the trampoline,
Handprints everywhere in meemaw’s Vaseline.

Marks on the wall where we measured his height,
The sandals he broke from having “too tight”.
On the shelf sits the “big pea-corn” that he so proudly found,
Along with the “whistles” that he’d try to make
sound.

Everywhere you look is a memory
Of my little angel, Logan Zackary.
He will be with us forever,
In our hearts, live his memory.

love, mommy
