John Joseph Mackey Jr.

I thought we had more time to spend, to laugh, to talk to plan gardens to tend.

More time on the porch keenly observing the lake amazed by the anhigas ' large daily take .

I thought we had more time more time to watch ducks and otters at play avoiding gators furtively making their way.

I thought we had more time for this and more but time ran out -- I ache to the core.

We ended each visit with a hug and a kiss Dear John -- all of this I truly will miss.
