A faded picture <br />Full of hope <br />With mother and child <br />Ahead the unfurled road <br />Lays crumbled now <br />In some forgotten drawer <br /> <br />Memories held <br />In black and white <br />Faded with each <br />Passing night <br />Were only relived <br />When they temporarily <br />Came to light <br /> <br />The mother's grave now <br />Overgrown with tears <br />The child's face now <br />Overgrown with years <br />And the faded picture <br />Now lies still with hope <br /> <br /> <br /><br />Brian Kilpatrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-faded-picture/
