Those Times. Poem by Dare Olaajiki

Those times when I see smiles on your face
Those times when I see you sad
Those times when I know your rich purse
Those times when I know your reds
Those times when I feel you close to me
Those times when I feel you are far away from me
Those time when I long for your closeness
Those times when I imagine your closeness
Those times when I'm cross with you
Those times when I'm pleased with you
Those times when feel your tender words
Those times when I feel your strict corrective snaps
Those times when you had sleepless nights thinking of me
Those times when you had peacful thought about me
Those times when you do away with
Those times when I go away with
It is really hard to do without those times
I miss being with you.

(For my family)
