Thumbing through pictures. One day with nothing to do I sat down at my desk and started to look at pictures pictures of my most recent memories in life There is one of me and my sister the day before I left for basic training so much happiness and sadness at the same time now there is one of Liz standing on me her head barley touches the ceiling and there is one of she and Alex as happy as can be kinda makes me jealous that he could find such happiness. There is one of grandpa I think that was taken in July he has been like my best friend for as long as I can remember I don't know if I could have made it this far if he wasn't there to help Now a picture of mom and dad what more is there to say about that one found it in the mail one day brought a tear to my eyes it has two simple words on it "love ya" almost made me cry. Now to a picture of her she was one of the sweetest most loving people I have ever been with it's hard for me to look at that picture anymore remembering what we had I can still feel the warmth of her kiss see the love in her eye. that is the picture that takes the most to look at without crying. Now I look up here, next to my computer and see a picture of another taken at prom the picture that brings a smile to a face that has not seen one for months And next to that picture is a teddy bear with my picture on the chest uniform on with out a smile and a flag in the background I look between the two and wonder how I was ever so sad this is what happens when I get thumbing through pictures Keith Kelly 2003
