Without Warning

Listen to poem:

The last thing I remember I was playing carefree In the summer field With my newfound little soul mate The same first and last name Except for a single letter Imagine that Never so happy School was out Freedom was in the air Adventures on our mind Treasures to discover I ran home with delight Only to find the biggest truck I’d ever seen sitting in our driveway I knew it was a bad omen Sure enough Life as I knew it Was about to end Suddenly Just like that Without warning Torn apart from My little soul mate The one with same first and last name Except for that one single letter AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on December 7, 2020 for contest STORY FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD sponsored by L MILTON HANKINS - RANKED 2ND Originally posted on February 25, 2018

That must have been really neat having a friend with the same name, but so sad to lose that friend. Congrats on your placement!
