Frozen In Time
"A photograph is a moment frozen in time . . ."
It is a family gathering
in the photograph I have found
of me as a baby and my beautiful mother
holding me in her arms;
frozen in time . . .
she gazes down at me,
and there is such love in her eyes;
her skin is porcelain perfection,
frozen in time . . .
with cheeks a sweet blush
and lips a whisper of roses;
her raven hair brushed off her lovely face,
and I am in a pink dress
with a pink knitted sweater from grandma
and pink socks on chubby legs;
frozen in time . . .
I am porcelain too with cheeks blushed
and lips a whisper of roses and raven hair.
