Memories -- Poem


Memories

We had the good times
and then the bad

When we played in that stream on that hot summer day
And then on that same day when we played in the hay

When you didn’t want to be a team in that sandy brown ring
Because when I felt that sting... it was hard to choke back the constant salty tears

It’s true that

We had The joyful smiles
and then the worst of tears

But the best part about it
was that you carried me away from all my fears

  1. You posted an earlier draft of the poem too. It's interesting to look at how it changed. Which do you like better and why?

  2. I like this 'new edition' of the poem better because I think it gives more imagery... I think more readers can relate to this poem more then the other draft. :)
