Pictures on the wall

Pictures on the wall

Some are short

Some are tall

Sitting on a shelf

With no frames

Still filled with wealth

Memories of old

Some bad, some good

Worth their weight in gold

Creases on the corners

Of the past and present

They are the joiners

Remembering the past

Looking forward to the future

People they don’t last

But the pictures on the wall

And the memories inside them

Can outlast them all
