Remembrance

This is the poem I wrote after a year of living in New York. After coming over here I found myself and what I want to do when my life. But at the same time I promised not to forget all the things happened in my passed which made me take wise decision for myself.

I remember my first day of school when I was talking pictures with my family

I remember the nervousness I felt when I first entered my class

I remember coming back home and telling everything to my grandma

I remember playing little games with her after homework

I remember the feeling of her warm arms which made me feel protected

I remember the day she went on coma

I remember the day I lost her

I remember the pain

I remember the loneliness

I remember when I first came to New York

I remember when I left my friends and my love behind

I remember getting lost in the streets of Queens

I remember missing my dad who was in my homeland

I remember consoling myself that everything is going to be alright

I remember watching my mother hide her tears while watching my dad’s picture

I remember the surprise of meeting my dad on the day of my graduation

I remember the life I had before

I remember everything that people thing I don’t

I remember that how blessed I felt to see my family together

I remember the hugs and the laughter

I remember how I grew up as a strong girl

I remember all that made me a better person
