My August Poem by HENRY DATUBO

Suddenly, time takes me back

back to where I was found

breaks, summertime and fun

a time of plenty and green.

A time when smiles were like true beauty

and unity was inseparable.



Like flash it all vanished away

not even a pause of awareness

I was left weak and helpless behind,

like a footprint on the seashore.

Reflections clouded my thoughts-

How far ahead is this walk alone?



But it’s all coming back

with moments of bliss all around

Chris is definitely part of it,

my August is here again.

Maybe my thanks and prayers have arrived,

It’s my time to shine again.



And as only time could tell

all that happened was for good,

it’s like a step back and five front

a new dawn is here again

although memories of yesterday will always remain,

that new dawn is here to stay.
