JAMAICA
for my cousin Jamaica

Just a few days until your birthday
Can it really be here
I am with you in spirit
You are such a dear
Nothing can compare
To the companionship you gave me
Almost as if we were sisters
Smile and laugh at the memory
Both met men and fell in love
Now we're far apart
But friends remain connected
Forever, always, in their hearts
