Magic Photograph

Magic Photograph

by Ritzy Ritzhaupt 

When I think I might forget you

I longing look at your photograph
Remembering your lopsided grin
Your huge hands with knurled fingers
Your lushes hugs and generous heart 

When looking for a photo

The one I really want to see
I look deep inside, within my heart
Where you captured me

Remembering your loving ways
Warms my heart to overflowing 
Giving me all the strength needed
To go on, being your one true love

Embracing our forty years together
And the romance that filled our lives
A beautiful part of our love
This makes you unforgettable

Savored as a long simmered soup
Bringing the nourishment needed 
To withstand the lonely nights

The missing burns deep inside  
But knowing, I was treasured beyond gold
Frees me to live this life all alone
