Our Pinkies entwined in promise
To revive the bliss we carried that day
Gleaming smiles kept safe our secrets
As ways parted for the weekend
Joy lingered in abundance
Amid ages we spent apart
but was seized in a moment’s breath
on the day created to reunite us
the beating of a heart molded 11 years ago
froze with news of death’s arrival
young eyes birthed muted tears
that trekked a face unmoving
God’s Angels yearned your presence
And cared none for our sisterly pact
In your slumber you were summoned
to the Heavens above
Not ever to come back
13 more years gifted to that heart
Memories dawdle even now
Of your fate, how premature
Angela, my dear friend
How I longed for much more
Of times we could meet
To avenge our crossed pinkies
With sundrenched smiles
for eons to come.
