The picture
The girl on the wall
Framed with gold
Looks at me and smile
She does that all the time
Her black hair blown by the wind
Framing her face
Coffee latte coloured
Softly sun-kissed
Her eyes with expectation
At what the world has for her
She is alone
But hopes someday to be part of a pair
She is nineteen
When she is frozen
For this famous take
Life’s innocent acolyte
The next day after the take
Is the day when she breaks,
The day when her life turns bleak
And change her life’s path
No matter, on that picture
She is glad
She is always nineteen
Always content.

......"And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it's this: I was here. I existed. I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture."-Sy Parrish, One Hour Photo.

Beautiful and sad.
A blessing to be able to capture a moment of happiness, and freeze frame it forever, so that you can say at least once, you felt that way. It is hard to remember the feeling when so many things in life go wrong, but at least you have the picture to remind you that something once went right.

Yes, Rachel you are so right. At times we look back at our images and think 'what was I thinking...!' :D but that's life. Thank you so much for dropping by, reading and commenting.
