Reliving the Past

Sitting cross legged beside a bonfire 
Flipping though old photos
Going back in time to the already expired
Reliving wonderful memories

There’s baby me butt naked covered in bubbles
Sister and Brother joining me too
Now I remember the greatness of having no troubles
Captured times will do that to you

A cute one of Mama when she was a girl
In black and white but still so real
With the old 70’s swimsuits and cute little curls
At the time it must have been ideal

The really old one of younger granddad
At the drive though movies with friends
I guess those clothes where fad 
But that line of clothes came to an end

Aw! Look at Mom and Dad on their wedding day
Wow they were so blessed
Jubilant is what they are as portrayed
In this picture, no emotion is suppressed

So many wonderful captured times we’ve had
On hot summer days and snowy winter nights
The times where we were crazily clad
Times when we posed with all our might

Setting down the memories, closing the lid
Saving times to share with others
Oh I love looking at things that already we’ve already did
Photo’s are good times captured with lovers
