Mitzie Jimenez Poem
It began in the era of the Big Band
She was a young beauty
He was a handsome lady’s man
Walking through town friends hand in hand
She was unaware fate was to take a stand
He drove by with his brother at the wheel
A wink he would give her in hopes her attention to steal
With a toss of her head and her nose in the air
He thought, “she’s too stuck up for me to care.”
Her beauty and goodness were too much to resist
Love at first sight and he would have to persist
His life had been changed from that day.
He proved to her, she could trust him, no matter what others would say
They were united and when looking back
There were never harsh words or any regrets
It wasn’t always easy but no one would know
Their love and respect was all that would show
They raised us with their love and caring
Always with giving and always with sharing
On that gray January day
Who would have thought and who’s to say?
The Lord sent a sign with a dove
Of what began with a wink so many years before
This part of their life ended with that wink, a wink of love
Don’t be sad and have no regrets
Eternity is waiting there in Heaven
With a wink of new love a seed will be sown
A song will play To Each His Own.

Mitzie Jimenez Poem
Finding myself yearning for the past
Missing people and events of years gone by
Everything I see reminds me of a moment
Wishing to go back and relive it again.
Before my eyes pieces of life falling away
From the ones I knew and grew with to
The changing times of the day
I feel no different inside from days before
All that was familiar through each year slowly disappearing
From family to surroundings I find there’s less that I hold dear
Can’t go back and I wish I could
To every past moment, person and time
If possible I would
I guess this is what happens as time passes by
As you grow older, living forever would be a lie.
Nothing familiar here on earth
That’s why there’s heaven where you find your life’s worth
Being there, those days and people are waiting
To be enjoyed once again and that goes without saying
I do have a chance to live special moments and see those
loved and admired once again.
