The Old School Building

The old school building from childhood Changed now ~a nursing home Laughter echoes "pon the warm breeze Children some now don't roam Years separated me from here The building has improved The grounds are much the same as then Gone are see-saws that moved Gone is the fun merry-go-round Where accidents happened Life as a whole has surely changed Thinking of those actions Life sometimes goes full circle This school from years bygone Ancestors whose offsprings in home Once lived, learned, and moved on

Sara, after reading this I found myself meandering into melancholy thoughts from too many years ago. My thoughts grow more precious after a period of aging. Thanks for bringing back some still treasured thoughts from long ago.... Jake

It's good to reminisce on things like this. By doing a poem in the memory of them, they can live on.
