Snapshot of Love

SNAPSHOT OF LOVE fell in love with a boy who dreamed of love i hold his picture to my eye level with the sky his picture placed in a stranger’s album let’s call them dad and mom i peer into his innocent eyes and smile before he’d walk me down the aisle strangers held his heart in their hands he’d answer fervently to their commands looks about seven or eight to me before this boy took me on a date after all of this time’s gone by i see him as a child tears puddle in my eyes 11/16/2016

my daughter-in law gave me a picture taken long ago of my son before he lost the use of his legs, it was a picture I had long forgotten about...afterwards I cried..My first thought after reading your poem, though not connected to the words in your poem it stirred a memory

This is beautiful and really speaks to me. I saw Paloma's thoughts below and I had the same. You have expressed your thoughts wonderfully Kim.

Really thought provoking Kim, is this about an adoptive child? Either way, it's a stellar read.
