Little Inklings 2024

LINCOLN By: Quinnard Mays ’28 My lips stay sealed when I want to speak. I try not to talk, I try to be discreet. Hoping my thoughts of you don’t leak. Every moment spent by your side. Fills my world with a joyous tide. Your smile, a beacon in the night, guiding me through the darkness, so bright. Shy yet bold, she conquers the beach, In her presence, joy is within reach. Sweet and kind, with a heart so pure, In her heart, I find my cure. With brown eyes sparkling under the sun’s warm gaze, She moves with grace, her spirit ablaze. I watch her dance and her beauty, I praise. In the golden sands where laughter meets the sea. I’m glad you’re here sitting next to me. Wishing this moment will last for eternity. With an awkward smile that spreads so wide. Me and you stand side by side. On the beach next to the tide. Hoping you and I will never divide. A love so pure, like a timeless rhyme, In every moment, our spirits chime. I stand with you together, forever till the end of time. 54
