Black And White Memories Poem by Amouta Stardancer

Black and white memories
that aren’t even mine
but I feel like they are
because I’ve known you forever.

Water sprays to the side
there’s a tow rope in you’re hands
how come you never taught me
to do that?

Where are you?
I don’t really know.
But it must be beautiful
with warm water and sun.

You look like a model
in some sports magazine
I can’t help but laugh
the thought’s just too silly.

And yet here you are
in my arms
I could never deserve you
dad you’re too wonderful.

You gave up warm waters
sun, babes, and skis,
gave up what seems like the world
for me.

Settled in a town
you grew up in
small and safe
and here we are.

There’s nothing to say
because thanks are too small
they seem almost ungrateful
and love is so big
words will never quite catch it.
