Patterns of shadows that dance on my face
fill the halls of my memory.
Like the swaying of leaves that dance with the wind.
Yet the roots grow much deeper in me.

The images that flash on each page in my mind.
I'll hold in my heart till I die.
Then the spirit of each of my family that's passed
will fade like unique clouds in the sky.

With each year that passes a face is erased
from the pages of memories to come.
The people who once meant so much to me,
in future will mean nothing to some.

Each laughs at some Great-Great-something to them,
just a faded face on a Kodak in time.
And the saddest thought that I've ever had
is that someday the face will be mine.
