dedicated to the memory of Richie Antonavich...don't know where you are, but I hope it's cool...
it ain't always easy bein' free...
but sometimes it's the way things got to be...
I know it wasn't easy for you to let her go,
'cause your pride would never let your feelings show.
whatever has become of you my friend,
I know you'll find the right road in the end...
but remember those who loved you then, and those who love you now
I know we'll meet again...someday...somehow.
Frederick E. Smith 2/5/97
Poetry is more than words on paper
It's the way we see the colors of our lives.
In the images I've laid down on these pages,
I hope you've some to realize...
There's more to me than the words on this paper,
more to you than the tears you keep inside.
And above us there's a God watching over you and me.
God bless us, and allow us to be free.
Frederick E. Smith 2/5/97
