Day 135 - One Day Years of Reflections

Dedicated to My Photographer, Eric

Look straight ahead but see back too

All the places that you went through

Growing up is a journey so far

Part of it is knowing where you are

Light and shadows frame old times

That began long ago with nursery rhymes

Then you moved on to picture books

Mischievous grins and all-knowing looks

One day you grew to open up your heart

Even to those who are so far apart

Now today you stand as a man

As much as one still growing can

Day 14 - Capturing Wonders

Capturing Wonders

Look back with joy and see the dancers

We are all in a world of romancers

That brings the core of light to us

On which the camera will focus

A year marks every moment shared

All the people who have sent love and cared

Every phone call that left you breathless

All the things that keep you restless

The lenses is captures me from a thousand miles away

It holds onto all the secrets we need not even say

And from up close in my own place

It captures the endless laughter on my face

This world I have found and where I am living

Is one that astounds me with its giving

Of all the good and songs we can sing along to

It began with the smile of me and you

Looking back we see the message is in each hand

And learning together we all understand

That this year is better than all of the last

That happiness is now and in the past

Shutters click and swirl into perfect formation

Bringing about the brilliant creation

That show how we breathe in and out and live

With every moment that we can give

Keeping my heart full I trek farther along

Remember the tunes to every single song

Skipping and bouncing and dancing all around

Loving each who person who shares with me the profound

That conjures up nights of mysteries and laughter

And moments that form our forever-after

Keep me twirling it is to hard to stop now

And with all this wonder, I would not even know how
