Photos

Ah!

I felt something then!

Hardship and joy,

the mundane and delightful-

all in one frame.

What was it about life?

Youth or Beauty?

Faith or Pain?

Knowing what I know now,

I knew nothing then

I longed for what I lacked

though rich with minutes, energy and wonder.

What happened to wonder as I aged?

God spoke to me through every pore 

on the face of my days.

Looking back, 

I saw so little.

I guess that's why I need photos-

to value 

what once was 

through older eyes.
