Pictures

Today I got an old album while cleaning the storeroom.

When I opened this album,

I found that it has all the memories of me and my brother from childhood to graduation.

All those memories, which I had forgotten

Then I remembered that my mother used to watch this album often.

At that time, I couldn't understand what mother used to see in this album and why?

Today I understand by looking at these picture, Mother used to remember those moments when were all together.

After growing up, both of us became so busy in our lives that we didn't have time for family.

Today I understood, mother used to miss us, so mother often used to see these pictures.

Pictures are such a wonderful thing.

All those moments, memories and people, whom we forget,

And with time, all those memories, moments became blurred,

These pictures capture all those memories and moments.

These pictures keep all those memories and moments inside and protect them.

Whenever we look at these pictures, all those memories and moments are fresh again.

With time, people leave us,

         But their memories remain with us in form of these pictures.          

Seriously, pictures are really a wonderful thing.

One day I will also become a picture
