In Loving Memory OfJOHN ANDREW CARTERSept. 10, 1971 - April 12, 2006The sum total of you will always fall short because you were so much more than there is to report. Your mind and your hands, so quick and so clever, were sure and precise. Nothing defeated you ever. A cook and a craftsman, a fine carpenter too. The porch wouldn't exist if not for you. We look and we see, from this place where we stand, that many things here know the touch of your hand. But our hearts are unfinished, you've work still to do, and you can complete them when next we see you. With love on your birthday and always, Mom, Papa and the whole familyHere's a birthday poem from Papa:"First Run In Years"Bought a battery cleaned the tankdrained the carbthat's all it took.She breathed again.She faltered for a momentas if confused.Awoke from her limboof being unused.She soon settled downto her throaty lope.She sounded stronglike there might be hopethat she'd run again,run again, run --But she sits and waitssix lost seasons now.Six more passes ofthe grave digger's plow.Her heart is trappedin an iron confinelike my love for youis cradled in mine.Miss you - love you - wish all you needed was a battery.
