Sparkle's Toast Poem by Barry Middleton

we surely miss a certain friend
who had that special glow
who now has moved so far away
we had to let her go

and time can dim a memory
but some stay clear and new
we cherish those and won't let go
but hold to just a few

there is a girl with shining eyes
whom we will not forget
she cheered our dismal day at work
to her we owe a debt

and so a toast to our sweet friend
don't ever change your style
we're ever grateful for the gift
the sparkle of your smile
