User blog:Rose Beckett/Memories of Long Ago

This is basically a poem about Spain when I first knew it.

Memories of Long Ago
Memories of Long Ago

How they seem to fade

Faded but there

there lingers the memories

of a battle, a battle of the mind

A man and his father

both stubborn to say the least

although one acted like a beast

A king and a rogue lady

A lion and a mouse

But who is who is the question?

Memories of Long ago

We fought together

so many questions remain

What was the fight for?

To prove your point

or to prove your worth

to the one who didn't see you for who you were?

I saw and the mouse fought the lion

The rogue became a thorn in his side

she became a lady, a pawn in the game of life

she took the blows and the hate for her king

Long live the King and the Queen

who the pawn was no longer matters

she'd make the same sacrifice again if she had to...

Memories of long ago

We won't forget

But we will learn from the past

and look to a bright future.
