"Grandma and Grandpa and Mom and I laughed / Over the years standing there photographed / Posing with spring snowballs of memory / In bleached photographs in our Sunday best"

Time-Frozen Snowballs for Grandma and Grandpa and Mom Here snowballs bloom on bushes in the spring They never bloom until the sun shines warm They wait through wind and flood through drought and storm They are not fazed by these nor anything But stubbornly await that day in May When they see it is time for them to say That spring has come and that this is their day Eastern viburnum at home in the west Grandma and Grandpa and Mom and I laughed Over the years standing there photographed Posing with spring snowballs of memory In bleached photographs in our Sunday best Blooming through the album leaves of the past No one is left to take pictures of me All dead and gone now and I am the last With these time-frozen snowballs none can see +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMV

Thnx Steve for the memories, and even though I am not alone, and I am not the last, there IS NO ONE to take the pictures of me either. Even the ones in my family that say they love me, and accept for who I am, do not take the time to take my picture in all of my nice clothes, makeup, hairstyles, jewelry (what there is of it), and my precious smile. Thnx for sharing Steve. May the Lord Jesus bless you and yours, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. with much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Great wrote Steve and the picture is so sharp and clear can almost smell their fragrance in the air. As for being only you I doubt that in reality their spirits surround and envelop you and the snowball tree in a secret harmony of love.

Old photos fade, but old memories sometimes grow stronger with the years.

Oh I love hydrangeas and I want a blue one and reddish one to go with a white one for the front yard. As always this is a good write.
