Poem # 12

Kenneth R. Jenkins 1961 (Augusta, GA)

in memory of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

In hopes that your sleep
Will be the best ever
A sleep that’s eternal
In hopes your soul be at rest.
First, hoping that you know Christ
Second, you recognized with others
In hopes your rest is at peace.

We will miss you
Your craziness
Your talent so grand
We will miss you dearly.
Liza you are loved
I pray your soul to be at rest.
