Picturing The Spirit

Picturing The Spirit

by Bud Lemire on July 18, 2005

Looking over photos, something came to mind

Captured in a picture, it's what we leave behind

The human body, with its faults and its age

Taken with a camera, through each of life's stage

But there is something, only memories can see

The spirit of that person, of what they use to be

Their physical body ends, but the spirit carries on

In the spirit world, across the great beyond

As you relive their memory, they know and are near

To hold upon the special bond, of all that you hold dear

There's no restrictions to the spirit, their love is real

In the calmness of your soul, it's them that you can feel

Photos mixed with memories, come alive for you

Two souls join together again, in a bond that's true

Captured by a camera, to help your memory

Of the ones you love, in your photo history

Your soul feels the picture, memories to hold

When the time passes, and they are like gold

Memories to cherish, some can make you laugh

Spirits of a time gone, within a photograph
