Framing Moments Past

Hazy pictures were displayed Old oaken frames contained them Hanging slight off kilter right The walls littered like leaves in autumn lawns Grandma keeps glimpses of every leaf pile we made Remember that Day? Indepence Day, we think... Smiled postures, sincere familial moment Each recounting the tales we told most well Classic family fables...annual oral essays The laughs reached hysterics, when we remembered..... These pictorial journals stand proud Historical record of Easter egg-hunt/fist-fights account of dogs who eat cake...sons first birthday the dog ate the cake on his FIRST birthday?!! Picture proved guilt for Bailey, you mutt!! Chocalate chops-licking as if smiling for the camera Christmas collages of gift wrapping typhoons Swirling in heaps covering everything Your eyes were half shut holding holding an Alf doll...old school dated stuff Fashion victim flashbacks...man, you had a perm?! relishing rubicks cubes , mysterious artifact I could never have vengeful laughing without this"Wham" haircut snapshot Grandma likes the silly one we took eyes crossed, fish lipped child faces chubby wind burned cheeks, pushed through snowsuit hoods Snowman center stage in a motley group pose bordered either side, white barred polaroid taped, crudley cropped, in center of this frame Each still reinactment is a Joyful look beyond Life had painted beautiful moments, and we were there to catch it....
