Here are all your children in one place, Enshrined behind some glass within a frame. A picture's like a word, a sign, a name, Symbolic of a much more complex grace. Years of memories lie behind each face, A wild sea no blessing can contain; Years and years of love, of joy, of pain, Of mysteries no heart can hope to trace. Here are all the objects of your love, A frozen section cut away from Time, A summit between dreams and memories, Which you need only look this way to climb; An icon for domestic reveries Through which a thousand answered prayers move.
