Beautiful soul, I’m so glad for dinner

Our chat at Applebees

Back in November

Beautiful soul, it seems so unfair

One day you were here,

Now, you’re not there

Beautiful soul, you taught me so much

How to handle a classroom

Write lessons and such

Beautiful soul, thanks for your love

Your generosity and kindness

They will be rewarded above

Beautiful soul, there was no goodbye

Just a casket and flowers

Your family nearby

Beautiful soul, I’m sorry about today

I would have come

But circumstance bid me stay

Beautiful soul, you understand

See you by the gates of heaven

We will enter hand in hand

In loving memory of Shenell Cooper,
former coworker, forever friend
