Ode To L-A-B5-M

Soaking in Na-Malonate
Ended your fate
Now we would never know
The secrets you’d show
Bound or unbound
Would never be found
…In You… Oh sweet L-A-B5-M
Why did your time end?
I’d miss you… oh… I’d miss you so
From your recipe, siblings I’ll grow
I hope you are well
I wish I could tell
I hope you did see
How much you meant to me.
