The last time i saw you <br />was when you were still a kid <br />holding tightly tn your <br />mama's skirt, <br /> <br />life has kept me busy <br />constant travels make me forget <br />plans are many mountains <br />and victories are few like <br />diamonds kept preciously inside <br />a locker, <br /> <br />and then i get a card and i open it. <br />you're getting married and <br />it will be your grand day <br />and that i must attend so that <br />we can all be happier again <br /> <br />but life has kept me busy <br />constant travels make me forget <br />plans are many mountains <br />and victories are few like <br />diamonds kept preciously inside <br />a locker, <br /> <br />oh, i get puzzled, i forget faces and <br />names because i want to stay here forever <br />and there are so many things missing <br />markers removed, boundaries kept <br /> <br />i am old, and it is sad.<br /><br />RIC S.
