Lasting Memories Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

A blast from the past, starring Cher singing, 'Babe,
I got you.
A wonderful song, depicting our lives when younger
and in love.
A tribute to the poverty we lived through every day,
not knowing we were poor.
We were just kids, what did we know?
Lasting memories have been glued to my intellect and
can never be erased.
We had one another's love and understanding, we didn't
need anyone else back then.
Guess that's why I still don't need anyone's help in
my life and I always refuse other's offers in humble
woes.
