October 1988

“Dear Pete:

Keep smiling, because God loves you and I’m trying!!

Randy”

it’s odd

sometimes

what friends will do

in some of their various moods

above, a line

from one rejoicing

in life

in friends

and trying hard to make me stay

when my heart is heading home

those who aid a man

on the path designed by God

must surely be rewarded

by the God they work to please
