Photos

My past had been captured but it's now lost
Do you have clear, vivid reminders of your past

Placed in boxes, displaced during break ups or moves
What happen that I was so careless with those treasures
There's nothing to show the happier times
Times when life was just an adventure

When it's time for my homecoming
I don't want loved ones to struggle to find that photo

The one that speaks of me  
Where no explanation is needed


I now save everything in the clouds
I need NOW to be recorded
To be remembered
I want all to see that this was a great time

For all that I've lost
So much has been gained

Every photo is a story within a story
Time is a factor
I want one photo to bring to mind
a great time we shared

I want to bring a smile to your face
as you look into mine

I tried to be a pillar in your life
An unbreakable yet bending fixture
Can you see that in my stance

Do my pictures reflect my unquestionable love
Do my eyes sparkle
I was thinking of you

I was careless and I'm asking you to not be
Choose the moments you capture and share wisely

If a picture is worth a thousand words
Make those words meaningful
