Memories in Pictures

Memories are all we have left of our lost loved ones

We try so hard to conjure them up in our minds eye

But time is the enemy of our minds and we forget

Not because we want to, in reality we want to relive them over and over

It is our way of making sure our loved ones live on.

Pictures are all we have left, so we cling onto them

Every so often we open our album so that we can reminicise

Go back in time, and relive those moments over and over again

Sometimes we smile, other times tears fall down our cheeks

We wish that we could see them, even if only for a while.

Days turn into weeks, months into years, pictures fade

As we get older we realise that one day, we will just be a memory

To our friends and family, and so the story goes on

We have a short time on this earth

So we have to live the best life we can for those we love.
