A poem by Janna

For those that don't know, I generally don't understand poetry. I thought it was torture to make me write it through out my schooling. Well yesterday I found that my grandma save a poem that I mailed to her after it had been published in the local paper and the high school literature book. I do believe that even then I thought it seemed like a childish poem. It made me laugh to find it in the things she saved. Perhaps it will make you chuckle also. It isn't intended to give you any points to ponder.
Exalted Events
The proud experiences of the times
Just keep on coming into mind.
Young or old,
Brave or bold,
We all have episodes
Where memories will never erode;
The first time to fly
And see a cloud go by...
And for some,
Having sons...
Parents being able to afford
A college kid's room and board...
Being married 50 years
May be what brings some cheer...
Some can't forget learning to drive
(Can it get to ninety-five?)
You might forget
The usual incident, though
These special moments
Will never go.

***and the funny bonus is that I autographed it for her..lol!
