Drops of Rain

Gisela Vigil 1959 (Cuba)

Sometimes distance and time
may cause a friendship
to evaporate,
like drops of rain captured
by the warm summer soil.
New friends will walk
upon your path,
but never will bask
under fresh raindrops as they fall,
for gone is the piece of your heart
that you gave to that old friend.

Thank you for welcoming me to this community. I was born in Cuba but emigrated with my family to the US when I was three. I am mother to three young adults now, and also a grandmother. I’ve been writing for years, some I share, others I still keep in my personal file. I often write of struggles for we all face them as we journey through life. But still, I feel peace knowing I try my best. Feel blessed to have been given the gift of writing which I strive to improve cause there’s always room for growth. more…
