I'll Miss You
I’ll Miss You
Just like yesterday, we were sneaking off to Shipley’s
missing the bus, playing in the dust on Grove Street.
Can’t really remember, perhaps one September,
We met way, way back,
So long I can’t keep track, my Friend.
Times have changed,
and some people around here have grown strange,
but I can tell by your sweet same smile,
you kept your style.
I got a word yesterday that you’re not around,
So I’m kind of down,
but what I’ll do is think on the crazy days,
the times we played and ran away to eat wild berries.
I may cry for a while, but then I’ll smile as I miss you, my friend forever.
Dynisha F. Cole (Hayes)
To the family of Angela Cooper Smith: I’ll keep you all in prayer
