Funny how you remember that day
Guess old dreams came out to play
Standing by the corner of the house
Waiting for brothers to come pounce
Summer days begin echoing no more days of school
Time to head to the creek, our countryside pool
Seems so very many long years ago
I guess it is hard to accept, time is never slow
Relationships are formed seemingly unbreakable
Many are long gone, but still, I’m so very thankful
For days I can remember and cause my mouth to smile
Wish my legs were stable, I would love to run for miles
It was looking at old photos that brought me out this day
I smile as I wipe away the tears, I can’t help feeling this way
The clock of life has wound down, you wind it up again
As someone waltzes out the door, a new dance will begin
How many times did we look at the face of the photographer, our mom
She lined us up beside a car, a tree, or wherever we had just come from
I put the thoughts all away,
I had my inside laugh this cold dreary day
Filling my brain with a happy laugh
From A Photograph”
