LA NIÑEZ Y LA VIEJES

LA NIÑEZ Y LA VIEJES

By Elvia Valenzuela Ramirez

What is so unforgettable 

Yet we forget the most 

So many memories from childhood left us, What is left, will not let go 

How different were the times 

and yet we barely noticed it all  changed 

In a blink of an eye 

The times are no longer the same 

My mom took me to school 

And my dad was so strong 

And now every once in a while 

I miss what is long gone 

The stories they would tell us 

And the troubles we made 

What I would give to see the youth of my parents We lived through it but

we did not appreciate  

Those beautiful memories 

So simple as they seem 

Are what I appreciate most 

And what I forget the least
