“Jeremy had a passion for art. His art was poetry. The way he viewed life was in many ways the art of poetry. The way he lived his life was like gentle poetry.” – Zac Frampton

The Purpose of Life
– Jeremy Frampton

Why look for reason
there is no cause
Why try to find a purpose
there may be none at all
Take whatever there is
and make the most
And if there is nothing
make your own
And while you are loving to live
a reason will become
and a purpose will appear
making all the more reason to go on

Enough
– Jeremy Frampton

If I stare long enough
If I talk hard enough
If I touch soft enough
If I look good enough
If I love deep enough
Will I live long enough
To love life enough

Dear Mom,

When the Corps of Cadets leaders knew we were going to make it, they gave us this piece of brass to wear on our uniform. It symbolizes every lesson I have ever learned in my childhood. I am giving this to you. It doesn’t look like much, but there is one thing I’ve learned. Sometimes the plainest things mean the most. When I’m away, you can pick this up and remember everything we’ve been through. I love you very much. Thank you.

Love, Jeremy Richard Frampton
Mother’s Day, 1996
