Class Obit
Donnie:
basketball team captain
soccer scoring records
National Medal of Honor
CEO of global companies
survived by his wife and
seven children.
His name was Dieudonné,
which means God-given.
I recall his compliments
to me, dusk, a soccer field,
pillow lips.

Lovely poem & image. I wish I knew how to add photos on here as you do. I can’t figure it out.
Beautiful. The last two words — pillow lips — are haunting and a little weird in a good way.
Beautiful tribute, Gaby!
You leave the reader intrigued with “pillow lips”
Which came first? The photo or the obit….or the kiss? Never mind–let me sit with the questions! Love this.
