Hall of memories

The Photograph of Life
taken with the camera of my mind
photos hanging in the halls of memories
is where I can always find

Loved ones
having fun
distant places
familiar faces

many gone now
but
this is how
they are still with me
in the hall of memories

I return to see
who I was
and
where I have been
and
I think to myself
I would do it all over again

one jot
one tittle
one change
just a little
and
You wouldn't be here
sharing these memories
with the one
you hold dear

the road is long
but
seemed to be traveled at light speed
one thing I need
is you

took a long time
to get over the tragedy
of ,when mom was taken from us
to soon

I can no longer peer into the fire
but
I can see her
in the light of the moon

in the hall of memories
there I see

I look with tearful eye's
with a tender smile

there I think I will sit
for a little while
in

The hall of memories
