Poem: A Young Teen’s Memory…

Share this article:

Again I am reminded, soon it’s Valentine’s Day,
And now in the 6th Grade, careful how I post.
For right now, in my teen years, certain ones hold sway
More than before, and those I really think of most
And more important now…leastwise that is how I feel
Right now, although I know although I know there’s not much hope
The girl I like the most will make my dreams be real. For all I know, she thinks that I am just a dope.
But that’s okay, for nothing ventured, nothing gained.
(I heard my Dad say that). So I will give them out,
Prepared to smile a lot, although it may be feigned. Then try to do the best that I know how, no doubt.
