IF I WERE A PICTURE
If I were a picture
my memories would come back to me
as I remembered
the day it was taken.
It would be as if
I were in my own world.
The children in the picture
would make whoever looked at it
light up and glow.
It would be great to be a picture because all day
I would wait for people to look at me
and smile.
