Photo Album

Thumbing through old photo albums
faces of smiling cherubs of long ago

Glossy prints bent and scratched
faded memories of times captured in a second

Little ones grown into adults
who cannot be children again

moments that bring a tear
of a long ago Christmas or birthday

Time gone forever
clocks that cannot be turned back

Years that cannot be relived
childhood that has gone forever..

I felt my eyes well up reading this bittersweet write. I guess you see a few more tears as you get older. God Bless. Vince
