Pamombeau…
’cause a person’s name is the sweetest sound in any language,
as Dale Carnegie would say.
Pamombeau…
’cause whenever I said your name
you would smile brighter than a sunray.
Pamombeau…
’cause I know you wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Pamombeau…
my dear friend, I will always remember the last time we spoke;
you were so happy, you said your headaches have finally gone away.
Pamombeau…
my dear friend, I’ll always hold onto to that day;
’cause when I said Pamombeau you smiled then asked if we could pray.
A few days later I got the call stating that you were in ICU
and didn’t know what to say.
However, when Kristie told me to talk to you in ICU,
I knew exactly what to say.
I held your hand and said Pamombeau,
hoping that you would respond in some way.
You moved your legs, Kristie exclaimed “SHE RESPONDED,”
as I fought through a panic attack, thinking “no way.”
Pamombeau…
You taught me to always be mindful of what I say.
Thank you for being a friend,
thank you for always having kind words to say.
Thank you for telling Mr. John that I was kind to you at the library;
I still can’t believe how he hired me the next day.
Thank you for bringing me into the fold at Kohl’s;
I still live the “Yes We Can” mantra everyday.
Thank you for joining the chicken biscuit club on Saturdays;
I’ll never forget when you nonchalantly told me
“I know you, Lydia, and Jan usually get Bojangles but…
I bought Chick-fil-A
and Chick-fil-A is better than Bojangles anway.”
Farewell Pamombeau…
I’m so glad that the last time we spoke you asked if we could pray.
Farewell Pamombeau…
’cause a person’s name is the sweetest sound in any language,
as Dale Carnegie would say.
Although, you were most affectionately known as Beau…
I think this one’s gonna be entitled Pamombeau
’cause whenever I said your name
you would smile brighter than a sunray.
Farewell Pamombeau…
your name will always be an ode to Pam and Beau,
as you used to say.
As I bid my final Farewell, Pamombeau…
I think we’ll call this one Pamombeau,
as an ode to you today.
