Discover the Powerful Secrets to a Joyful Life

Bonita

Posted on January 7, 2011 by Darlene Franklin-Campbell

Midnight hair
lay shiny on a pink dress
amid dogwood boquets, but
flowers should not signal
the end.

I still hear
Delta Dawn
and remember,
yes, remember,
how her voice sounded
like May all year long.
