A Life Is Captured

A life is captured with a lens From babyhood until The final hours, right before The world goes dark and still. A loving son creates a site With pictures on display To keep his memory alive And let the smiles hold sway. For photos crystallize the past, Like amber holds a fly, Each moment perfectly preserved - The who, what, where and why. We gaze upon the face of one No longer on this earth And every photograph affirms How much his life was worth. (In memory of Gary Schall)
