So Long Ago



For Carry on Tuesday Prompt
from the last line of The Glass Menagerie:
"And that is how I remember them."









Days of childhood
little girl lost,
robbed by death,
yet safe and cherished,
by special love
in those eary years...


....and that is how I remember them.


Later childhood,
another place
family fitting
mold of the times..
days of normalcy...
school and play and fun



....yes, that is how I remember them.


Adolescence changes
secrets and shame
family never
to be the same
days of loneliness
unanswered prayers...



....for that is how I remember them.



Days as a victim
torture in the night
unable to escape
no rescue in sight
Days of living lost and alone...



.....and that is how I remember them.
