Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

- Photo With Memories -

Between cradle and grave, live today
Seize the day forwards, backwards and across
A photo captures the essence of life, better than anything
A trilling laugh observed by a camera lens

He had no worries
 ... his eyes smile and the mouth laughs

Do not cry because the boy has become an adult man
Live simply, expect little and give much
Yesterday is past ... dance even if it rains
Your feet will get wet ... who cares

He had no worries
 ... he was happy even with wet feet
