Where Did The Little Child Go?

There are thousands of physical transitions from the baby to the adult.
Each easing into the next as naturally as the circus catapult.
We wonder, day after day, and year after year - "Who is this new child
That was just a tiny little baby for such a short, short while?"

This is just the way that life on this planet was definitely planned.
But human beings have a way of hanging on to each transition as long as they can.
We feel that life and changes are moving much, much too fast.
We'd like each day to be prolonged and make the good times last.

That's what photographs are all about, and we all thank God for them!
They record our memories for us to relive and hold, even when our vision may grow dim.
We will enjoy each day as it comes, enjoy each memory of every yesterday
For this is your life. Live it, love it, relish your memories - however long you stay!
