Your Picture



she looks shy

standing there

the light plays tricks

in her long dark hair

I wonder what

flows through her mind

her looks not rare

but hard for me to find



she looks shy

sitting there

kitchen table

kitchen chairs

empty bowl

and coffee cup

soft mothers hands

hold baby up

another picture

again not so rare

but priceless love

baby held in mothers care

but she looks off

from camera's view

and makes me wonder

is this one picture or is it two



now at last she doesn't look shy

but full of grace

as she smiles upon

her babies face

her hair looks maybe

chestnut there

and soft, in soft light

in the living room chair

and my eyes wander

through her place

with thoughts of love

and time and space



oh what tricks

my mind does play

when I look at

three pictures you sent my way

and I think about

the talks we've had

what's good in life

and what's been bad

as I look at

pictures of you

I struggle to know

what is true

and wonder snow white princess

who are you
