I hold on

Pictures with frayed edges

Smiling faces frozen in happy poses

If but for a moment

You can almost hear the conversation

“Stop poking your sister!”

“Look at the camera, act normal!”

Tears roll as I catch a glimpse of loved ones who

have gone on too soon

But through photographs, memories still seem new.
