Things I'm Glad I Had

There are things I'm glad I had, like fishing with my dad,

My Mom taking pictures, me and my Sister hanging out together

My Grandmother making dinner, Me and my  Brother, my twin

How close we used to be.

Cutting wood in the November air____

Building forts in the back acre

Lighting the wood stove, listening to stories

While we were Cooking beans, on the iron stove.

Running with the Dog, through the trees

Building castles of love, feeling free

Going camping,  in the mountains,

 I remember it well, that smell

Seeing that sunrise, over the mountains

counting  colors in the rainbows

when the sun came out..after the rain, not a worry, not a care

It was so good then...things I'm glad I had, things I wish I had again.

Now we are older, 

We have all moved on, Children of our own

But I miss my Brother,  My sister,  my Mother

And I miss my Dad...And how I wish, we were close again

Building those forts, baking those beans

Seeing mountains, chasing dreams

I miss it all, right now.

Your work is well written, the fond memories of adolescence... A declamatory poem.... well done.

[Leena]

Brings a lot of images into ones' mind. Very nostalgic and well written.

very nice and nostalgic. i'd do away with a few commas that seem unnecessary, but that's my only criticism.
