On A Lighter Note

As the days get colder, I realize that I have people that matter in my life.

I know this because of the pictures, because of the questions.

As I grow up in photos, I see the people that will always be there for me.

I see the people who will be there at my graduation,

Who will be there at my wedding,

Who will be there two hours before my wedding:

Powdering my nose,

Fastening the dress,

Handing me the bouquet.

I see my life in photos.

I see people that matter in photos.

I realized today that no matter how far I go,

How long I last without giving a call,

How old I get,

These people will no doubt

Forever be here.
