A photograph
Faded by the years
Worn by many rubbing fingertips
Held by callused hands
Caressed by swollen fingers
Memorized by tired eyes
Treasured
Loved
Timeless....
This picture
Passed down from generation to generation
Looked upon by many wary eyes
A person long gone
Living on in memory and face
Nameless but not forgotten
What legacy is this?
Through picture and frame?
All that you once were,
Your ability's and tastes
Your scent, your smile
All lost to the ravages of time
But your face lives on in beauty
Spinning through the world affecting lives
For a picture says a thousand words
And last for eternity and always...
