FRIEND
My friend and me went jogging
We sweated and swore we lost
weight
Enough calories burned
We gulped coconut water

My friend's father died
We went to church
She wore black I wore white
She cried I cried

My friend and me boarded the plane
To another island we flew
We squatted on our beach towels
And laughed at absolutely
everything

My friend told me knock knock jokes
Before I went to the hospital
After surgery I remembered them
I smiled

My Friend - the sun rose this
morning
The birds sang at dawn - time out
Just these few minutes I want to
spend
With no one else but You - Sweet
Jesus



Friend (c)2001 Gillena Cox

About the Poet
I live in Trinidad of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; a multi ethnic, multi religious society. I write poetry for the sheer joy of crafting my feelings, my emotions my thoughts. I enjoy the challenge of abstraction in writing haiku. Married to Anthony Cox in 1971; we have a daughter Yanda and a son Khama. I was born in 1950
