Pictures

I see you have a picture of me.
What memory is that from?

A celebration?
A holiday?
One randomly taken?

Time passess so quickly.
Tears well behind my eyes.
Look how young.

The fashion, the hair you can tell the year.

Father, Mother.
Sisters, Brothers.
Friends, Relatives.
My children.
Even pets are set in frame.
Some have long been gone.

It brings a laugh, a sadness of a time that long has past.

I see you have a picture of me.
What memory is that from?
A celebration?
A holiday?
One randomly taken?

Time passess so quickly.
Tears well behind my eyes.
Look how young.
