Family and Friends
All in spaces,
Arranged in groups,
Of importent impressions.
Family and Friends
In frames so pretty,
All different sizes
And shapes aplenty.
Family and Friends
Sitting here and there.
On shelves, pianos,
Bookcases and table tops.
Family and friends
All very special,
Lovely smiling faces,
All shining with love.
Family and friends
Some hanging on walls,
Aligned in perfect units
Depicting relationships.
Family and Friends
Some old and some new.
All are there for a reason
Of times not forgotten.
Family and Friends
Some pasted on pages.
Arranged in a book
Of special dedication.
Family and Friends
Poised one way or another.
Some are black & white;
Most are of color.
Family and friends
Beckon from within,
Of times and dreams gone by;
All are remembered.
Family and friends
Kept forever more,
In matte or glossies;
So Many pictures of love.
