Each page a golden memory

That lives within a treasury

Times in life we gather

We keep forever after

 

The love is overwhelming

On visions past I'm dwelling

Each moment of the hours

The kindling that empowers

 

The fire that is burning

As pages now are turning

Will bring me to the glory

Of every picture's story

 

The past is mine to follow

In life my time to wallow

With memories now giving

The joy of life worth living.
