Narrative

I remember that photograph. I found this photograph in my attic where it was shoved into a pile of old books I used to write. It was amazing how old this picture was. When I glanced at the picture I finally realized it was my best friend and soul mate. That photograph brought back memories that I will never forget. It was a chilly and weary day in the daytime where the sky was gray and everyone was inside. It felt like it was just my girl and I in our own world. She was beautiful. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of her in which I knew she was the one for me. I was only 3 years old but I already knew what my affections towards her were. I wasn’t like most 3 year olds. I was romantic and thoughtful little boy.

Back in the 1950’s my neighbor and I would go to the beach and play with our toy trucks and amuse ourselves with our shovel and pail. It filled me up with much enjoyment.
“Mommy can I got to the beach today with Lilly?” I asked.
“Yes hunny. But you need to take your nap and then I can take you.” Mother replied.
“Ok mommy ill take my nap now.” I said.
I was cheerful and happy right after my nap. I arrived at the beach with my mommy and waited until my mom unstrapped me from my car seat. I saw her gorgeous face and gave her a huge hug when I approached her. Her beautiful blue eyes and angelic face made my heart race. It was love at first sight. While walking down the beach, I grabbed her hand and she grabbed mine. Looking at the view made the moment everlasting.
This photograph brought back so many memories to when I was young and in love. I am now 72 years old and married to my Lilly. I showed her that photograph and we both started to shed tears. It was an instant connection that will be remembered. I will always love her and she will always love me.

Falling in love on South Beach

Elizabeth, a small town girl in California, wanted to see if she will ever find her true love. She was never into the whole dating scene because her rich parents never approved. She was smart, unique, and funny which made everyone fall in love with her. She treasured South Shore beach and loved how the soft and wet sand felt on her feet. The loud seagulls and the sound of the waves crashing made all of her feelings go away. Every morning, she would depart to this beach and express her emotions in her diary. The beach was very serene and peaceful which to her felt tranquil. As she was walking down the South Shore, she came across a young and charming man who was walking his golden retriever. His golden retriever went over to Elizabeth and started sniffing her up and down. She started to pet the dog and the young man ran over to her and apologized about his dog.
“What a beautiful dog you have!” Said Elizabeth.
“Why, thank you miss.” He replied.
The two individuals had a lovely conversation in which they realized how much they have in common. After their rendezvous, he asks her for her number. She gives him her number and the next day they go on a date on the same beach they had met each other. The beach was abandoned and peaceful with the breeze hitting both of their faces. He grabs her hand and start walking along the shore of South Beach on the gritty sand. It was so passionate and idealistic in which Elizabeth never forgot about that day. Years later, Elizabeth and her husband, Dave got married on South Shore Beach in California where they would always remember the time they met each other. The beach had always been their desired spot since.

My Paradox Poem

I have a twin sister but she doesn't look like me

My hair looks like a beautiful disaster when I get up in the morning

I love coffee but I hate Dunkin Donuts

I listen but most of the time I don't hear

I love my car but I hate driving it

I love the summer when there's a cool breeze

I love the beach on a hot day but I hate the ice cold water

I love school but I can't wait to get out
