My recollections of the past
have merely become faded photographs
Birthday parties with pink balloons
funerals held in a floral print room
boxes upon boxes of forgotten times
now resurrected, consuming my mind
would these memories exist if not seen in print?
would my mind conjure up something different?
Would I look at this life through a lens of curved glass
if not for the help of a photograph

My recollections of the past
have merely become faded photographs
Birthday parties with pink balloons
funerals held in a floral print room
boxes upon boxes of forgotten times
now resurrected, consuming my mind
would these memories exist if not seen in print?
would my mind conjure up something different?
Would I look at this life through a lens of curved glass
if not for the help of a photograph
Take pictures people. You'll want the memories later.
