pages stuffed with old photos

of those who entered and left my life

painful and beautiful memories

of years past, and happy times

---

pictures of smiling faces

images of those who came before

some sitting, and some standing

with their feet flat on the floor

---

if the day came to pass,

and I had to flee

I would take my most prized possession

and keep it

 always with me…
