Poem Artwork

If you could see inside my mind
So many pictures I could share
So many photographic images
Of things no longer there

The mind is like a camera
The eye is as the lens
What’s no longer here has been stored there
To look upon again

Each thing we do or see or say
Is stored there in our mind
Upon an endless roll of film
Placed there by God’s design

Each image is a memory
Stored there to help us find
Our way back to the moments
Of another place in time

Jack, I read this and I thought of the song:

As always, I enjoyed this. I can usually remember the images of faces...but often forget the name attached to it. :(

Yes, you are right but as the years go by some of those pictures in my mind are looking pretty faded. Perhaps that's the way it should be or there wouldn't be room for new ones.
