Long Ago

Seems so long now,
all those years
so much heartache
brought flooding tears
perhaps it's true, we were too young
romantic notions never been flung.
But the song was played and children were born
you long gone but still loves dawn
as in 'my children'[s] 'faces .. show'
reflecting images
from long ago

    Beautiful poem so full of wonderful imagery and emotions. I wish I could remember my childhood but maybe it is better that I don't. Thanks for sharing sis I so loved it. Good luck in the contest. Hugs Theresa

    This is a very sweet poem that really conveys the emotion. Thank you for writing this. I would put "were born" on the previous line so that the rhyming words are at the end of the lines. Thank you for your submission.
