~~~~
Up in the attic
Looking at old things
It’s amazing the memories
This old stuff can bring
Pictures and clothing
Toys and old dolls
All these memories
Stored in these walls

Laughter turned to tears
Tears into pain
As I remembered the struggles
And the gains
Pictures told the stories
Of life from the past
Each vivid memory
My mind rehashed

It’s difficult to let go
Of the loved-ones who moved on
Some to other distance places
Other to heaven they’ve gone
Each one played a role
In the eyes of this child
Whose dreams and ambitions
In his head ran wild

Now the years have been kind
And the memories have been true
So I’ve come to this attic
To think about you
To spend some time
And shed a few tears
With all the people I’ve loved
Over the years

I think we/'/re kin.
I/'/m reading my stories from you.
You have a way with words.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
