An Ode to Abby

Two years ago you left ...

I never knew if you'd be back.

My heart sank, each time I was there and you were not

Yesterday, I saw you there

Waiting, ready

Your bright greeting and warm smile

The light in my heart turned on again

So today, I came back

And there you were

A new dance

Every single day

Warm smiles over coffee

Your eyes alight when meeting mine

Your auburn hair, now shorter and bolder

but the soft smile remains

A reason to wake up

To leave ... to stop in

An exchange of words and more and again

Abby

A light in my once-dark soul
