Sally Says
Two years old the coffee'd be
each time that Sally would say to me.
Second half of day is what she'd say
and I'd just flinch and go to pay.
Last cups mine she'd grin and smile
and we'd both drink and laugh awhile.
All these things that Sally'd say.
A laugh or two to fill the day.
The day was Sally's as we all knew
where jokes were common and feelings true.
Sally'd work from day to night
full of cheer and joyfull sprite.
You'd see her laugh and stepping back
her humour strong would never lack.
She made you smile while giving change
that you'd lose count in the exchange.
She always had a special sense
that made you welcome and feel less tense.
And everyday would be the same.
where Sally'd laugh with you by name.
And in the end would Sally be
a friend to all and all to me.
Sally
