I remember those days back in Little Haiti

Everyone was happy

Great big family

Mommy worked and her little cousin Vivi

Took care of me and Shelly

I often called her mommy

Daddy seemed to always be so busy

In and out of Ayiti

Would bring back some sweet-sweets

Usually it was from one of my grannies

Showing that they love me by adding to my cavities

The family moved to North Miami

Away from the south beach, closer to my aunties

Finally, we moved into our own home suite

Big pool and mango tree on 193rd Street

Turned 18 and moved away from the whole scene

Reflecting on what has brought me to succeed academically

Socially I gained much popularity

Yet it never fulfilled me like the love from my family

I remember those days!
