It belonged to

It belonged to me
Childhoods
Not just dreams
It belonged to me
Teenage years
Not just went to school
It belonged to me
Homeland
Not just sweet fruits
It belonged to me
A promise…
Not said a goodbye
You got married
The bitter fruit belonged to me…

It belonged to me grandmother’s praying
Continuity
Sadness
Hardship
All along since was the student
I remember
All along for whole Lifetime
Hopely still remember…

Whole lifetime is busy with books
I don’t know much
Another world
Belongs to…
