I remember your picture, the first thing I saw when I woke up that morning. A picture which meant more to me than life did itself. It meant my existence, my past, and my future. This picture was of the one I loved, but more, the one I lost. I can't begin to say the loss I felt, I can only say the feelings that were still inside me. They were undoubtedly strong, so strong that my insides were ready to erupt. My eyes filled with tears, good tears not bad. I loved, I remembered, I will never forget.
I was looking through a box I keep of old writings, newspaper clips, and poems that I use to write when I was in high school and I came across this older poem I wrote. Of course the poem was written from the ending of a special relationship I had been in for a long time and I was hurting a lot.
Pictures have to be one of the most sacred material things that we have. If my home were on fire and of course my family was safe, I would be frantically running around trying to grab my photographs. Photographs are the one thing that helps us remember all the good things we have had in our lives. It is good to look back and remember the people in them and the wonderful times in your life. It is fun to see and remember what your children looked like from the time they are born until the age they are at now. Some times pictures are the only thing we have left to look at because your loved one may have passed away or you have gone your separate ways. I can't think of anything that is more precious, materially speaking, than those pictures, photographs, and memories that last a lifetime.
Enjoy relaxation like you've never felt before.
