Eye of the Beholder

Eye of the Beholder
"There is beauty all around us ...just waiting to be seen"
"She's at it again"... the words of my children as they see me approaching with my lens cap off and my tripod tucked beneath my arm. "Mom.... no more pictures ... pleeeeaaase!" and I say to my children.... "One day you will be grown, I will be old and this world will have changed in a million different ways, and the only thing I will have to remember the seasons of your youth and the wonder of these times are my photos... so I will close one eye and try to keep focus and you will smile and say cheese!"

...My... Little girl
how you have grown
shall I call you "little lady"?
Let us pretend
like the old days
that we are sipping tea
and all is well.
Do you take sugar,
or is your life sweet enough?
Do have a cookie,
I made them myself
from the sack of memories
I keep in the cupboard.
Just as I thought...
A little stale but still has flavour
My ... look at the time
I really should be going
I have so many other
places to be
and people to meet
so until the next time,
I say...
Keep the kettle warm!
