Cardboard covers hold my life
on dog-eared pages.
Painted-picture memories
of childhood days...of wiser days.
Black and white beginnings...
life's changing hues.
Some images forever stilled...
and yet their presence felt
with every course of my life's blood.
The days of my life
tucked carefully away
'midst pages of faded memories.
The images of yesterday,
and the youth that we once knew;
each one a celebration
of the family we are...
will always be...
