Andrea Dietrich Poet Pantoum

I Miss You

I fondly reminisce . . . and I miss you,
dear brother – carrot top – with soul so sweet.
It won’t be long when I’ll see you anew.
I’m longing to embrace you when we meet.

Dear brother – carrot-top – with soul so sweet;
dear father, and my friends beyond the veil;
I’m longing to embrace you when we meet.
We were so close. Be first there, brother Dale!

Dear father and my friends beyond the veil,
it won’t be long when I see you anew.
We were so close; be first there, brother Dale.
I fondly reminisce. . . and I miss you!
