My Pictures
I gaze at pictures on my wall
Place d there for all to see
I watch them each and every day
All with a separate memory
They seem to move and come alive
Without any exaggeration
So I’m all intense, but I join in
With my creative imagination
Some are old in black and white
Very sharp on detail
Others of color that sometimes fade
Needing touching up to email
Each picture tells a tale
And relates it to ones mind
Time stood still for a moment
Captured for all mankind
It is so relaxing to sit here
And going back in time
With the help of all the pictures
I just become sublime
As friends drop in to say “Hello”
With their coats hung in the hall
The conversation stops, in awe
Of my pictures on the wall.
