My Photo Album
I was browsing through the bookcase
In search of a book to read,
When I happened upon an album
That caught my eye - interesting indeed.
I began to turn the pages
As I watched my life unfurl,
Here was a lifetime of memories
Of my mothers baby girl.
Here I am a sleeping newborn
Dressed in pink and white,
With a baby cap to match
That appears to be a bit too tight.
As I turned another page I saw
Mom rocking me in her chair,
She looked radiant and contented
I can see the love in her face so fair.
Next a picture by the school bus door.
I was wearing such a silly dress,
I can't believe mom let me wear it
That was the style back then I guess.
A Special Day! Ah yes , here we are
Standing by the car, headed for the prom,
I was all gussied up
So was my date, Blushing Tom.
This is me on my wedding day
Mom is at my side, with that look in her eye,
Knowing her, she was choking back the tears
trying so hard not to cry.
I'm so glad I happened upon the album
I cans see mom's love shining bright as can be,
My heart swelled with love and pride for mom
Looking at the pictures taken of me.t
