Snapshots

Our Holiday sideboard

shines this season,

not so much, with glitter & glitz,

but with the g-l-o-w,

of the past.

A bare branch,

made beautiful

with

 memories.

Mother & Child

My Mom, on Grandma’s front porch,

beaming, as she holds

my big brother,

Snapshot ~

‘Mama’

Our Grandma

Nettie,

forever in motion.

Snapshot ~

Fathers & Sons,

a teaching moment.

Daily chores.

Snapshot ~ 

Simpler times,

when you could BUY

amusement,

 for only 12 cents.

Our Holiday

Family Tree,

marks,

rites of passage,

makes sentimental

music,

boasts

patriarchs…

heroes…

Sweethearts…

Inspiration

and the echo of

 generations.

One little ‘Charlie Brown’

Christmas tree,

helping the Holidays,

 shine so

brightly.


Go ahead,

grab a branch,

and hang some

cool

family memories,

Monica
