Billy L. Jennings

Was never hesitant to give,

He was always standing by,

Ready to catch you,

When you fall,

Was kind to you on all days

And cheered you up

When you were blue,

Sitting in his tan recliner

A storyteller

Of his youth,

Shopping trips to King Scoopers

That was more for people

Than food,

Talked always and to everyone,

Bags and bags of cans

Waiting

To be turned in

For cash,

Refusing to drink anything

But Dr. Pepper,

After taking long walks, his pockets

Bulging with rocks- of all kinds,

His coffee table full of adds

For coins

Of silver

Gold

And copper,

Jennings
