A Perfect Picture
By Mabel Z
My friends stand there posing
Waiting for me
A shutter can be heard
When years go past, this memory will be blurred
Only a picture will be
Our minds closing
It's never out of reach
In the fear that I'll forget
We put on our happiest faces
Someday we'll go off to different places
Keep It near, I'll never regret
All of this could become bleak
Trying to get the perfect frame
Scrambling into their places
One day we will reminisce about the past
Although It will never last
All those bright smiling faces
Missing this would be a shame
