Where I grew up

Your heart remains in the same place where its memories belong to.- quote by author
Small, close and warm neighborhood. Only a few children inventing toys to play with or games to play at. Old stone houses on muddy roads, surrounded by bustling farms and a beautiful, wild nature. Days of happiness that enriched my past and enlarged my soul. Days running through those years, when the Spring was sunny, rainy and flowery. When the Summer was very hot with storms passing by. When the strong wind of Autumn used to open its doors to the harsh Winter. My beloved refuge where I grew up. A humble village in the deep countryside, where money was little but not the main purpose or reason to enjoy life. Where the sadness didn't last much, tucked in with kindness and generosity shared with the others. Oh...My unforgettable village!, you gave us your best until we left you abandoned in your sad ruins where you cry alone. Only four old people remain in, sitting on the shade of a clock moving forwards so fast. I wonder if you miss me running full of joy through your meadows. You must wonder if somebody miss you now...Yes, somebody does!.

Dear Maria, You have beautifully evoked nostalgia for a simpler time and a cherished place. Your wonderful descriptions transport me to the warmth and richness of your childhood village. You so artistically show the value of simplicity, community, and the enduring bond between people and their homeland. A heartfelt reflection! Blessings Daniel

Memories are made of this. I often pass my old house and see it had to be renovated. Delightful poem.

Thank you so much Victor. Here there are lots of small villages abandoned. The most of people go to the cities or bigger villages. That's life! Have a nice evening!

This wonderful poetry evokes fond memories of a simpler time and the strong bonds formed in a rural setting, drawing the reader back to their own upbringing in a small town. It centers on the happy recollections of a small town upbringing and the sad truth of that town's inevitable demise. Well done Maria
