Moments that Echo
Grandma clicked this picture
How many moons ago
I don’t know.
What I know is that she
Captured the joy of the moment,
the love that could never fade,
the beaming faces, the stars in the eyes,
the eternal hug – sibling bonding etched forever.
Royal robes of Mother Nature
fluttered in the fall breeze
Dad stood behind us,
Could there be a better symbol
of childhood innocence and parental pride?
Ah! How that love melts!
Time dust turns into rust;
The coating gets thicker each day,
Echoes of longing refuse to subside
as I look at this precious picture.

Violet noticed so well… a moment’s ephemeral quality but also feeling everlasting in our heart, and your poem describes that so beautifully!
Thank you Nicole, I am delighted to hear that.

What a precious image, Balroop, and your words are beautiful. I’m transported back to when my sisters and I were young, and then of course, the bond that my son and daughter have continues to stay strong even in their adulthood. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. ❤️
Yes, the image is nostalgic, it stirs many memories. I am glad you could relate to it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Lauren.
