Photo Album
It first appeared during their wedding
along with the other gifts that were given
by family and friends celebrating
as two hearts were made one and uniting
Then it was seen again on the day of the 24th
as the last child, a girl, was born
before that, there were two boys that arrived
ten years earlier. as it was depicted in the picture
Lastly, it lay on the bedside table, open
Not a space not filled with captured moments
the photo album now old with rusty scent,
and tears intrude on pages a middle-aged man was depicted
Now the old man has passed away
leaving only photographs turning old and gray
upon the photo album tattered from late night reminiscence
of the memories since 30 years ago on their wedding day.
