Alegria

That is a new poem Written by Aldo Kraas

Alegria

Father I am all the time

Sad because

You ended the Summer today

That I just love very much

I must tell you

That I just love the sunny days

During the Summer

Know you brought me

The Fall

And the hot weather

Is over

My father

Now was time to put

The Summer clothes away

And start to wear the

Winter clothes

Now father I start to wear

My long john’s

The top and the bottom

Also I wear my flannel shirt

During the winter

Father can you

Put some Alegria in

My life

Every single day

And take the sadness away

From my life

Because I just hate to feel sad

Also father I have

Lots of worries in my life

I worried allot about my health

Also Father I am responsible for my health

And I take good care of my health father

Also father I don’t do any street drugs

Because I would be killing myself

Also father I don’t drink wine or beer

Because that would be messing with my health

So I stay sober

And I been sober for 58 years
