~ My Genesis Gallery ~

Sitting in my desk chair, looking over pictured walls,
Enjoying all the love I feel, wherever my eyes fall.
Surrounded by my loved ones, faces framed in gilded gold,
Each picture has a story, for my mind to see unfold.

Baby pictures, pony rides, collages of our heirs.
Children of our children’s children, hanging right up there.
Graduation parties, Christmas Day, they all came home,
Nanni’s eighty-fifth, her tiny picture holds the throne.

Family portraits, family first’s, photos of family pets,
An old piano holds the past, in photographs, we’ve kept.
Antique doilies handed down, pressed behind the glass,
Grace the walls in this small den, full members of the brass.

Younger times for me and mine, captured in embrace,
Friends, part of our family, hang in their honored place.
Gone, but not forgotten loved ones, smiling down at me,
From the picture covered walls inside, my Genesis Gallery.
