Missing Cuba
Warm summer days had become hot summer weeks
Cold nights were a reminder that we were far from home.
It seemed to drift farther away
Thinking that I might never see my parents again.
There is still hope that we'd be going back to Cuba,
a better Cuba then the one we'd left.
Searching for more information,
the news papers kept me up to date on what was happening in other countries.
Found poem inspired by "The red Umbrella" by Christina Diaz Gonzalez
The book The red Umbrella shows acceptance of others. Especially in this poem. Lucia is saying how she misses her family and home in Cuba. But, Lucia accepts that her mom and dad had to send her to the United States because they wanted her to be safe from the revolution. They wouldn't have let her finish her education if she stayed in Cuba unless she joined the revolution. So, Lucia came to America with her brother hoping to see her family soon and go back home. That is how lucia show acceptance of others in this part of the book the Red Umbrella.
