Mementos

Joyful mementos in the garden of time

Glowed by merriment and pleasing chants

Will be yesteryears memories in my book of life

Consoling a longing heart wrapped with dreams

Unveiling its beats of hope in the Exile land...

Serene mementos planting in me dandelions

dressed in rhymes, engraved on wings of wonder

Sailing back to a long ago past left behind,

Where rays of childhood and motherly love

rocket through thick clouds of gloom and sighs,

flying colors of beauty in my today's sky ...

sparking my path with gems of delight,

Lading my future with bursts of verve and charm...
