Picture on the Wall
by
Heather Nicole Luther
Day after day I pass that picture
That hangs upon my wall,
And I never seem to think about it
And I’ve never seen it fall.
Just one day as I walked by it
It seemed to catch my eye,
And that is when I began to remember
What it was and then I let out a sigh.
The picture on the wall
Was of me and my dad,
But this picture showed the good ol’ days
Before everything became so sad.
The details in the picture seemed
Almost way too real,
Because it seemed like he was still here
And this was all the real deal.
While looking at the picture
I noticed my daddy’s smile,
And I thought about how he always said how
He’d love me no matter how much we were separated by the miles.
I sat on my bed looking at the picture on the wall
And I began to shed some tears,
But then I reminded myself that even though
He’s not here, he’ll be in my heart throughout the years.
