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.
