My childhood is beautiful,
I recall,
The open space
And the flying geese,
The chirping birds in spring,
And the ladies who harvest cotton from the field and sing…
My grandmother’s breathe taking stories,
My grandfather’s thought provoking riddles,
My father’s sincere and strict words,
My mother’s admirable diligence…
Family traditions
Happy New Year Celebrations,
I have had three best friends ever since 2nd grade,
They have changed their first names to be the same as mine,
We visited one another to watch movies together,
And we have remained close until 8th grade…how divine!
I have cut grasses to make hays,
I have played card games with my peers during summer breaks, sitting up on trees,
I have eaten whole eggs to celebrate my birthdays,
I have danced on stages to showcase arts and music in third grade.
I have ridden bicycles to visit relatives 15 miles long,
I have knitted socks and mittens for fun,
I have listened to pop music and tried to sing along,
I have loved my sisters and feel proud to be the oldest one…
My parents love each other very much,
My mother worked in the field while my father had a profession to teach,
I have never starved,
and I am fully loved,
Glad to watch classical movies and had my childhood fulfilled
and beautifully sealed.

May

May 22 is my first child's birthday,
May reminds me of that special day;
In a land far far away,
In a hospital near a bay:
Women give births,
A moment in life revolving life and death.
Many women got to do C-Section,
Oh, my, their pain was hard to ease even with their family's protection.
I was lucky to give a natural birth
to an eight pound boy, what a bless.
We, six young women stayed in a large room,
with six babies in six little beds next to us, boom.
The nurses took very good care of us all,
They bathes our babies daily, loved them all.
I saw people coming and going,
Hubbies visiting and laughing.
I heard two women crying,
because they couldn't breast-feeding.
One woman got super upset,
Because her hubby did not show up to see the baby she get.
I lived in the hospital 4 three days,
I learned about life in many ways.
May is special to my family,
May is magical to my child and me.
May is the month to celebrate,
May is also the time to graduate.
May turns trees green,
May shows roses with dripping sheen.

My Entry 4 Month of the Year Challenge at Page from The Mind:Month of the Year Challenge (May)

Alphabe-Thursday , M is 4 May

November

Remember
November,
It comes after October
and before December.
.
November's air is cold,
November's turkey crispy and golden,
November's age is 11 month old,
November's garden frosty and forgotten.
.
November is the time
Echoes of wind make haunting sound,
November is the time
Brown leaves hit the ground.
.
November is the time
first snowfall gives its blow,
November is the time
Bare boughs rub to and fro.
.
What I like about November
is the smell of hot tea,
The warmth of thankful notes between you and me,
And the enthusiasm floating in the air cheerfully.

A Love Test Is Tricky (Romance In Theme Thursday)

Academic tests are purposeful,
Medical tests are powerful,
Love tests are playful.
.
Tests are no fun
Unless you are well done.
You cry when you have to retry to score high.
.
It's mid-December,
Academic semester is about to be over,
Final exams may have kept you busy, remember.
.
A love test is tricky
If you miss the chance to prove yourself.
You may loss the one you love in case your lover is picky.
.
Think 4 yourself,
If a guy truly loves you,
He shall respect what you do.
.
You may make mistakes,
You may desire something costly,
Pass or fail, maintain your own custody.
