Samia Ali Salama Poet Rhyme

When We Were Young

Little hands and twirling hair.
Many years since we were there.
Wide-eyed innocents us four.
Standing right before life’s door.

We made a pact that we would be.
Together for eternity.
But different roads our paths did take.
Promises we did forsake.

Now our lives are almost done.
A million miles since we were young.
But every time that we all meet.
The memories flow back so sweet.

Josie Whitehead May 11, 2012 at 8:56 AM I'm so glad to find someone else who works truly hard, as I do, to get the metre of their poem perfect. I know it is hard to do this and you probably, like me, have to go over it several times to get it like this, but it really is good. I love your subject too. Friends and family, even stretching back to childhood, are well worth keeping. A really good poem I would say. Samia Ali Salama May 11, 2012 at 9:50 AM Hi Josie, Yes, I do go over my poems many times to get them just right. I can see where you must do that as well because your poem flowed so perfectly! Yes, family and childhood are always worth remembering. Thank you so much! :)
