Memories

A picture is worth a thousand words
That's what is said
But what about a memory
How many words is that worth
We may have tons of pictures
But we have a lot more memories
Those memories allow us
Allow us to remember what the person was like
Pictures just show us what they looked like
Pictures don't show how caring and sweet one person might be
Or how dreadfully horrid another might be
A memory can stay with us forever
But a picture can easily be destroyed
A picture is worth a thousand words
But a memory is worth much more
