Poem
As I sit and look at my old pictures and photographs, My mind begins to wonder of the old good times and pasts... Not a care in the world, Not a responsibility at all. I was just a kid living a dream, Sitting at home watching T.V. and eating ice cream. My parents were still together, I never realized the pain I would eventually suffer. I was able to go out and play anytime I wanted, I just wish now that I wouldn't have taken the time for granted. I could ask my dad to do anything with me at that time, Play basketball, catch, or just spend some time... As I take a break from recalling my old days, I realize that there was a price to pay. Those days were good and I miss them dearly, But I never knew that they would be so costly. I didn't know it would take the relationship with my dad, To live a good childhood with nothing ever going bad. I never knew that it would take years of moving around, To find a good neighborhood to settle down. Eventually though, we found our own space, And our lives started falling back into place... I remember being so careless and free, How my life was full of laughter and glee. I had fun going to school, I used to think that it was so cool. Me and my friends got along all the time, I even got along with my brother just fine... Now I sit and realize, That was then and this is now. Times have changed. Things are different and I will have to get used to them, But occasionally I can get out a picture and remember all the good times back then. Because that's what things like that are used for, To bring back the good memories of what it was like before.
