Captured In Time

Laying before me lies memories captured in time
Held within the pages of a old and rugged book
Taking a step back into the past
Looking through a window at
Moments of joy and laughter
At faces that to me are so familiar
Yet so long forgotten
Walking along a narrow path through time
Looking at moments gone by
I reach out to touch the faces
Of the ones I love so much
That were taken from me
Pleading with Time to give them back
I can only look back on these photographs
And to the few memories I have held within my heart
To a time when everything was okay
A time where joys were endless
And life free of fear pain anger and emptiness

So long ago it seems that I was a child

Leaving behind fond and happy memories

To later in life laugh and adore

Time brings many storms and memories

They come and go so quickly

So hold tight the ones you love

Cherish them everlasting

Tuck them away in your soul

For there they shall live on through eternity

    Lovely poem. You might want to watch your use of vowels though. I believe it should be "an old book" and not a old book. Also I noticed a lack of punctuation and am not sure if that is on purpose or not? Thank you for entering the contest.

    I must go to visit some friends graves, this is just too much of a reminder.

    Thanks for sharing your gift of poetry with us.

    This is so emotional. I know just how you feel, looking at pictures of people who are gone, wishing you could have them back.

    This speaks volumes to me. I have been around for a long long time and have lately been sorting through old photos of friends, family and places I have been. A treasure trove of triggers to activate the hidden recesses of my mind.
    Your message is a good one, "hold tight the ones you love". A very well written piece of poetry with good advice which could benefit all of us.
