The Way Eye See It

By Lonette Rivera

I have sat and wrote poems off and on for many years. But I never realized it would become more to me, then writing them as a joke and making it rhyme, like when I was younger. It has now developed into something I love to do, And (a second chance at life as a cancer survivor).
As I sit and write it on paper, the words just start to rhyme in my head. Its like almost everything that happens I sit to write a poem out of it. So more than likely there will be a second book, hopefully. I hope everyone enjoys the poems. People have told Me, this would make a good coffee table book. And it made them think about things in their life. It sure did me!!! I thank each and every one of you for your time.

(1) You were like Mine

I got you when you were just a baby

Carried you in my arms like you were mine

Thought you would stay with me maybe

But it was just for a temporary time

I watched you eat, play, sleep, and grow

Have your little fits when you didn’t get your way

I’ve had you most of your life you know

Now they’ll come to take you some day

It doesn’t seem fair cause a bond we now share

And you think that I’m your mother

But these people they just don’t care

How they affect people’s life with each other

You know I’m sure going to miss you

And I hope that you stay well

I know you’re going to miss me too

These things you just can tell

Even though it’s time for us to part

You’ll always have a place deep in my heart!

(2) You and your cars

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom goes the little car

You don’t push it fast, but you push it pretty far

It talks to you while you’re pushing it

It’s a thrill to watch how excited you get

You laugh and mock it when it talks and sings

I see how much happiness and joy to you it brings

You love cars more than anything I know

And you love people to watch while you put on a show

You tap on our arms and point to what’s playing the song

And begin to dance, and with you we dance along

Then you have that look on your face like I’m so smart

I smile at you so big, my little sweetheart

(3) Too be a child

When your growing up you can’t wait to get older

You don’t realize all the weight you’ll have on your shoulders

To be like a big person is what you want to be

Along with that come’s a lot of responsibilities you’ll see

It’s like a whole different world on your own

It’s not as easy as living at your parent’s home

Enjoy the little things that you can while you’re small

Grab your friends and hang out with them all

So take my advice and be a child as long as you can

They’ll be time for you to
