---=== Leaves of Life ===---

A single moment locked in time

Within a picture frame.

A wonderland of perfect prose,

A careful glance can claim.

-==-

For folded in the leaves

Between the pages of life's book

Are certain special pictures

Gladly given, sweetly took.

-==-

A gentle kiss, a soft caress,

A vision from the past.

Eternal colored memory,

From youngest page to last.

-==-

A life is but a century

Of moments come undone.

Each one a page of memories,,

A leaf for every one.

-==-

So fill your book with love

And with life's laughter

Ringing clear,

For all those lovely pages

Are for you to treasure, dear.
