Like Tears In The Rain Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

Like Tears In The Rain

Rating: 5.0


LIKE TEARS IN THE RAIN

A map of tangled hair
A dirt smudged face
Bare feet running in the sand
And torn jeans
A grin that quickly turns to a laugh
A trusting heart
An image of a small child
Too soon grown
From childish whims
All our memories lost in time
Like tears in the rain.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
5-11-2012
I started out with 5 words. 'Like tears in the rain' The rest was from my memories of my children as kids. They are all adults now with grandkids of their own. Sad to say the memories are fading 'like tears in the rain'

Oh! I love the way you employed an exact Simile - Like tears in the rain, to drive home the essence of the poem. A lovely piece penned with insight. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
