Barranquitas

I remember running the dusty plains  

Nestled in the mountain near my town 

The memories flow inundating my thoughts 

When I think of you quaint Barranquitas 

 

They were years of childish playing and fun 

We chased sugar cane laden trucks struggling to climb 

Pulling the stalks from the back of the truck 

And throwing them to the side of the road

 

As darkness fell, we played hide and seek 

We played until we were called to come and eat  

 

Barranquitas was my boyhood playground— 

A place to run, fly kites, and rivers swim.
