SMOKE GETS IN MY EYES

Judy

We were sitting in the backseat

Of someone else’s car, blowing smoke

With fondest wishes, cigarettes

And not cigars. High school yearbooks

Didn’t catch us, neither did our friends,

For we loved each other greatly

As we kissed to make amends.

For whatever life might bring us,

We will always be fine friends,

For we loved each other greatly

As we kissed to make amends,

For whatever life might bring us

Now it’s brought us to these ends.

1958–2021

We were young once; truth always trumps illusion!  Life is very good!
