i used to hate having
my photo taken
to see every flaw and imperfection on display.
i used to hate
the photos taken
the ones you glued into our scrapbook.
but now?
i love the photos given
& what they do to me.
for before
it felt like memories stolen
a painful reminder of
love
lost
today?
it reminds me of memories given
all the love we gave
it's scrapbooked in my memory
and brings a smile to my brain
so thank you for the photos taken
as they no longer bring me any pain.
