Picture by Alan Ayers

* * *

I was sorting through some pictures
When I found this one of you
You had a smile to warm the sun
So much love came shining through

I was taken by your expression
And how the sun lit up your face
You radiated so much happiness
Of sadness, I saw no trace

Every picture tells a story
And this one told so much
The camera captured you perfectly
You seemed close enough to touch

But now I have you here beside me
So much joy does your love bring
I don't need a picture now
Because I have the real thing

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

portrayed very well,  

It's the quality of the complement that i feel, not the quanity.

Hi Sue, it’s amazing how far one small portrait can go, in showing the big picture.

This was very sweet!

Wow Sue... This is so beautiful!!

It reminds me of those long ago days in secondary school when I'd take snapshots of the guy I fancy... I still have them with me, juz for remembrance, coz I guess it was juz never meant to be... It was juz an infatuation...

Pictures are good memory joggers, and memories are good heart warmers... And this poem is a keeper!

“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson
