Stephanie Hernandez Poems

Sometimes I can't believe
that these things happen to us.
But then I look into the sky...
...

Once upon a time
I would have cared.
Once upon a time.
But now I’m left with nothing but despair.
...

A spring time flower
The morning dew
You couldn’t come out for half an hour
You missed it all…
...

If you had an opportunity
The ones they call “once in a lifetime”
Would you take it?
Would you leave everything behind?
...

You’ve gotten old
You’ve got no friends
And now you think
This is the end
...

You’ve heard me say it a thousand times
I’ve even made a thousand rhymes
To tell you every single day
That I will love you always
...
