Fading Photographs




The most honored woman of her place;
I’m not fortunate enough to see her face!
She is none other than my loving mother;
People say, one can’t find like her another!
I know not, what mother’s love is all about!
Does God have any sense? I always doubt!
The lady in the photograph, I was taught,
Was my mother! Oh, a great relief I sought!
As I grew up, the photograph started fading;
But in my mind’s eye, it will be ever parading!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
