An Original Poem: Friendship Over Coffee

Friendship over Coffee

By Olivia August, GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis Poet in Residence

A CALL FOR ME!!!

To drink coffee with a friend!

Mask on or not, it’s a call

To go get coffee with a friend!

Four words that make my day,

Someone cares enough to say.

“Let’s go get coffee.”

OH, I am so happy!

I walk in the door

Joy though my nose

A smile from Meghan

At Bitty and Beau’s.

I love it here.

My friend and I talk and laugh

And drink warm lattes. With goat milk.

And sometimes we just sit and think together until she knows me a little better.

She tells me important things,

Which makes me feel important.  I’m valuable.

It makes my life better,

Friendship over coffee.
