Somewhere in the Distant Past

ravale

When I was a child 

I lived in a beautiful home

Full of the rarest treasures,

Yet even more rare-- the dwellers

 

We had an abundance of wealth

But not the monetary type.

Our wealth was difficult to find, 

And that is the best kind. 

 

We had little space 

But that was the key,

The key to our loving family

And why we lived happily. 

 

That family has long since finished

But the love still remains...

Yet somewhere in the distant past, 

You can hear them having a blast.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I used to live in a very small home, but my family was huge. The result of that was that we all practically had a mattress laid out on the bed everywhere. All my cousins, uncles, and aunts lived together due to circumstances. We made the best memories and the best times. We all fought together, laughed together, and cried together. We were truly one big happy family. This poem is dedicated to those times. Even though we have all moved on, we still cherish those years.

    A sweet poem. I've lived in some small places myself. Isn't it funny how tiny houses are "in" now? 🙂
