a mother's love

a child's memory

By kpPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

she only took pictures

with people she loved,

never realizing that she could love herself

enough to capture the lines from a life of laughter and smiles,

or the greying hair from rearing children,

or the weight of poverty and stress.

she deserved the frame as much as the next.
