Poem Title:
Poem
i remember the houses through the years where we lived with our parents, The Magnolia house when we came to Canada with our father and mother. Our parents had a beautiful wedding, Mother had a beautiful wedding dress and father a handsome suit. My younger brother Tom was born, I remember the days when he was growing up. i would walk around the playpen, Our mother would curl his hair because she wished to have a son with curly hair. He would sit in the playpen and I would walk around and be with him, We were friends at a young age, he is five years younger than I. He became a Secondary School Teacher, And I became an Elementary School Teacher. Everything at my parent's house was homemade, They had made their own furniture and sewed their own curtains. We moved to their second house on Chopin Ave., We walked to school, two hours to school, very safe, later we had a school bus. We graduated from Secondary School with our friends, Both went to Teacher's College and went onto to be hired and teach school. I received my twenty-five year pin and a certificate for contributing to excellence in Education. My youngest son was my escort and his older brother was at University. They both have their careers and both married and i have beautiful grandchildren, We moved to the Lorne park House with our parents and grandparents. Our parents love child was born and we were delighted. She grew up with our sons and they are good friends. she is married with children now, And has beautiful children and a handsome husband. Beautiful years of friendship guested, picnics and days of tossing the frisbee. Walks along the shores of the Lake at Jack Darling park. Skipping stones in the water, recently we visited Jack Darling park. Good memories always shared by my relatives and I. Days when i drove the children to school in the turquoise chrysler. Memories of the divorce, my husband and I are still friends. Days and Nights with our parents and grandparents. Blessings from God and i am truly thankful. Author: Gwen von Erlach Schutz.
