M's Poetry
Slide Show
The pictures roll and flicker
to a time long ago when innocence was the scene
and our family was joyfully still intact
back then it just didn't matter
our love carried us through
back those many years ago when I was eight
and I didn't know that much about life
wish I could go there again....but I can't
it seemed everyone smiles just sparkled in the slide show
waving and hollering but happy to be with each other
it's not like that anymore
but when I get misty or nostalgic for Thanksgivings past
I just pull my projector onto the table
and push play where I can be taken back
to the images of an almost perfect family
