Snapshots

Snapshots

Walking through the memory lane

Seeing them all again

Grinning at all that I’ve gained

And weeping about the lost

I passed through the graveyard of broken dreams

And the garden of blooms of hope

Then flashed, the light, capturing all it sees

All the things I’ve gained and lost

Their images, framed and saved

As snapshots in my mind

As snapshots that remind

I’ve sunk to the seabed, touched the skies

And all I’ve done, foolish and wise

As snapshots I’ve saved

As snapshots they remain

Chasing the tide of time , I saw

The sunrays piercing the night

Another year had passed away

And the next to be in light

The passing wave washed away the past

And the list of resolutions to be realized

This time, the new year is coming fast.
