Pictures, Memories and Words

He was just another year older.
This kind old graying soldier.
With pictures aligned on the shelf.
Celebrating his birthday by himself.

Recall his life from his childhood.
Controlling his emotions the best he could.
A picture of his departed father and mother.
A picture of him and his younger brother.

Recalling his past on a distant shore.
His nation's freedom he fought for.
A picture of him in his uniform.
A picture of a place he couldn't stay warm.

Recalling the happiest day of his life.
The day his sweetheart became his wife.
A picture of the newly wed bride and groom.
A picture of them on their honeymoon.

Recalling the blessings received from above.
Blessed with two children to share their love.
A picture of his son wearing different uniform.
A picture of his daughter's smile so warm.

Recalling the day his daughter was wed.
His wife crying as the vows were said.
A picture of a young bride and groom.
A picture of a new love in bloom.

Recalling his young son's wedding day.
The day the last child moved away.
A picture of a bride and groom.
A picture of a grand ballroom.

Recalling the blessings of his children.
And sharing his love with grandchildren.
A picture of children's families.
A picture of shared love under the trees.

Recalling fond memories from his past.
The love he shared was meant to last.
A picture of him taken on this his birthday.
A picture of family love was taken that day.

These picture may fade away, but memories will not.
His loving memories that could never be bought.
A picture may be worth a thousand words.
Memories are worth so much more then words!

Please take the time
won't cost a dime.
It's pleasure of mine
To have you sign.
