Poem Title:
Poem
For them. To her the word love refers to a boy. Something she yearns for and misses dearly. The day they met was cold and fraught with January chill. “Oh, that does seem so long ago.” That is the untarnished memory she replays over and over again when events in her life go array. Back then it was tangible and real, their lives together had not been succumb to so much misery and woe. They have triumphed, failed, and even caused each other more pain than can be imagined; But through it all they always walked the path together, holding each others hand. She loves him unconditionally and for that some people cant understand but love needs no excuses, certainly not for them. She adores him for working so hard, slaving to the man trying to base a future and a plan for them, but she feels guilty that their small American dream over the years has always led down a dead end. With today’s hard times she knows they are not to blame, but still her idol hands carry burden with them. A plot of land, a small farm, and a home to call their own so they may grow old. that’s all the pair desire. He loves her to, a thought that at times is unfathomable. He admires her dreams, even if they are bigger than the world and never distills fear in her that they wont one day come true. She thinks ill rationally and believes in things as a child would, but this merely makes him smile at her spontaneous outlook. To him she is like a wild bee, searching ferociously for something. At times he doesn’t think she will ever find it, that’s why its so hard to see her cry. Life hasn’t been fair for them. It’s a tragic book that just keeps reading on. But they muscle through living on their dream and knowing that as long as they have each other, everything will be alright. And as they drive home to their house with no walls, catching glimpses of each other in their ratty car they don’t feel so alone. Behind those blue eyes, she will be forever nineteen to him and to her, as she gazes into his brown large pupils; the boy she knows has grown into a man and at that moment they know, one day all the sacrifices they have made will pay off.
