Wide eyed portraits of people known well
Noses and ears, smiles that are veiled.
Cousins and grandkids, nieces, and kin
Funny old dogs, pictures of friends.
Hung on the fridge, stacked in a pile,
A collage on the wall, whatever the style.
They generate memories of good times and fun
Beach trips and travel warmed by the sun.
Others remind us of those that are dear
Frozen forever, smiling, with cheer.
Four by six snippets of faces with joy
Mimi’s wee girls, Papa’s big boy
Families, together, caught by the lens
Happily freezing time with wistful grins.
Portraits and pictures are memories we keep
Long after babies, diapers and no sleep.
June 2003
