I took this picture on a weekend winter getaway as I walked outside in the snow I saw my five year old granddaughter playing in the pool. Didn't think I would end up in the reflection but seemed pretty kewl to me...

Outside Looking In

Oh my little one can you really see me

On the outside looking in

Out here alone I felt cold and weary

Wondering...

where am I going, where have I been 

 

Then you notice me looking in at you

Your wide smile pushes back the cold

I snap a picture but I already captured

This special private memory to always hold 

 

I had been thinking how years speed by so fast

Though I treasured every moment we had to share

All too soon I know someday you'll look around

To see that your Poppy is no longe here 

 

Your muted giggle wipes a tear from my eye

A silent laugh and kiss through the window pane

Then I hurry back to my room to get my trunks

Because you want me to play with you again…

Poopy will be with me then, discussing the merit of whatever Canadian stuff and looking down to the people we loved so much.

I love this about photography! With our eyes we always focus past
anything we are not looking at. The lens however sees everything.
I have some amazing pics of flowers which also captured the camouflaged catapillars that I didn't see.

Your verses are embracing too, offering us all love from the
beautiful soul of children...their love big as the sky
their purity to love untarnished
Love & More Holidays!!
