A Special Memory

Sitting on the white stone fence,
The presence of two others that she loves is captured.
The warm spring breeze is noticed,
As the palm trees sway in the background.
Her hair messy and in her face,
Looking into the picture squinting,
As the sun blinds her vision.
Her brother, now gone,
Looking away from the old Kodak camera.
His memory lives on.
On an April 1969 afternoon,
She's living in the moment,
Without a clue of what her life will turn out to be.
Growing up in one of the most controversial times in American history,
Makes her the person she is today.
Such a relaxed,
Yet chaotic time.
This picture captures a memory she will never forget.
Sitting on the white stone fence,
With the precense of two loved ones...
