A Good Photograph Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

I simply stayed up late last night
In a decisive state of mind I came to realize,
I couldn't help but stare at this photograph
And now I already done the math

A thousand words would cost, Kshs.123/- on mail
But on a mission to tell you what's really heart-felt they would fail
On networks like Safari they would sail,
Yet am not sure whether they would reach Yu,
Sent through rail, sea or Air I can't Tel

But a good photograph I pictured
Is worth and much more than a thousand words it could tell
Tell you of my sincere thoughts of you
Scrolling through the album
I caught a glimpse of you held in your mom's arms

Truly a lifetime is made up of moments
Too late hide from this tide that might drown us
We could ride along and see where these memories drop us ashore
If only I could frame every minute and put it close to my heart
