I am old now.
Sitting alone in this park and seeing these kids play make my heart ache.
They laugh and run beneath the radiant,warm sky, and I can't help but cry at their happiness.
Seeing there parents reminds me of my mother,that how used to wait for me at the end of the slide.
Feed me when I was lazy, and be a true friend to me.
I miss her.
I remember my father's soft touch teaching me how to float in swimming class, and his immense pride.
Now as their children climb, I watch the parents celebrate, their faces so sweet, so prime, so full of love.
It makes me want for the times when my parents were by my side and causes an intense inside ache.
I'm an old lady now, seeing the world go by, and my memories of my parents fading with the light of day.
