I saw your smile yesterday
broad was your Kelly smile
reminded me of memories
long as a Gulu mile
small fingers intertwined in mine
dark ash upon your cheek
fought fire with the older boys
bravest child Id ever meet
I saw your smile yesterday
broad was your Kelly smile
reminded me of memories
long as a Gulu mile
bands all sizes on the floor
we’d make them for our wrists
love you knotted one for me
in colorful sweeps and twists
I saw your smile yesterday
broad was your Kelly smile
three short years of memories
but long as a Gulu mile
in such a little caravan
your body we conveyed
grandmother held you in her arms
wept o’er her precious babe
I saw your smile yesterday
broad was your Kelly smile
reminded of our memories
long as a Gulu mile
as your teacher I then shared
the picture in my heart
a tightly woven little place
it never will depart
I saw your smile yesterday
broad was your Kelly smile
knot of precious memories
they’re long as a Gulu mile
