HOODA HELAMI Has Been There And Back

________________________________________________________________________________________________

What brings us together

in youth

is giggles and kisses

and truth

The truth being that

no one else will do

It is you for me

and me for you

But brought together

in youth

might not be

long in the tooth

What brought us together

can tear us apart

when aged and lost 

love is

now breaking 

your heart

Hello Goodbye

the Beatles once sang

but bells of love 

no longer rang

when yin

replaced yang

 

Forward becomes backward

the grandchildren 

are told

forgive us

our dust

where once 

was gold
