Barely Twelve

Never expected to find you So much I wanted to tell you Actually boils down to a warm thank you Your glowing smile I can still picture Still remember your laughter You seemed much older and wiser In your eyes that deep piercing look Revealed the wisdom of an old soul’s book Maybe even the charm of an angel’s hook Touching lives with your sprinkle of gold We were so young, barely twelve years old To this day, I remember through times of strife How you had a lasting impact on my life AP: Honorable Mention 2020 posted on February 5, 2018
