Jessica Carrasco Poet Rhyme

Too far

We did have hopes 
we did have faith
but God was too far above
to keep us safe
to keep us company
to lend a hand
to offer his arms 
for us  to land...

Mama couldn't stay
mama had to work
papa went to pray
to save his soul
there were just ghosts
behind the doors
and a lonely path 
from school to home.

And that's how life worked
olders looking after youngers
carrying a heavy weight
on shaky frail shoulders
hiding the fear inside 
trying to look stronger
trying to look rough
wanting to be older.

Jessica
