"Flipping The Pages"

​

Flipping the pages with care

every picture and poem

of love and despair.

 

Pictures, drawings, and poems for you to read,

as I put pen to paper that will tell you my life's tale.

Trying my very best to capture the extremes in my life

and show you what it was like in every detail.

 

See the laughter or pain, while stories unfold

drawing and poems most of all of them old.

Each picture seeking its rightful place

like a complex tapestry with threads of grace.

 

Flipping the pages, is a window into my chaotic past,

each chapter woven will forever last.

Important days of triumphs and tears,

drawings and poems, the essence of my years.

 

Each generation's story is very unique,

like adding color to this album antique.

Each picture and poem an ode to my kin

as a new chapter of my being, will soon begin.

 

In this album, see how our lives intertwine,

forever engraving the passing of time.

May these moments be remembered, always prevail,

a map, a path, to understanding my trail.

 

This album is a book, a path, to my family,

a true understanding of the essence of me.

As I bear my very soul in the words that I write

and to let everyone know ...

I have won the fight.
