The Photograph
Captured in a photograph
Friends of long ago
Smiling, always smiling
Faces all aglow!
Cares they had a plenty
Trouble, grief and pain,
But captured in a photograph
Smiling, they remain.
Some have gone before us
To their home above,
Leaving us with memories
Of happiness and love,
One day we will join them
Though parted for a while,
At Heavens gate - they’ll stand and wait
And greet us with a smile!
