One Last Good-Bye
Sadness washed over me
wanting one last glimpse
one connection with my parents.
Plane engine humming
A big red umbrella appeared in the
bright blue sky,
That stupid thing never looked so
beautiful.
A smile edging its way onto my face
Mama found a way to say good-bye.
Found poem inspired by: Cristina Diaz
Gonzalez’s Red Umbrella
This poem is describing how much immigrants leave behind to
have freedom. As Americans, we can take freedom for granted. It also show how things
like an umbrella can mean so much to people, and describes a certain moment. In
this poem Lucia leaves everything she knows to be free of the revolution. Mama
needs a way to say goodbye her way was to revel the red umbrella. This is a
very important symbol in the story because it represents the strength and unity
of her family.
