Let them take the photo, give them a smile.
Stop complaining you’re not photogenic;
You’ll forget it was taken in a little while.
Don’t mind if you’re not in your best style,
If your hair’s out of place… or if your face is
flushed from walking an extra mile.
Snapshots capture fashion, frozen in time,
Forget about the décor, clothes old or new,
Seasons change, years pass, it’s you who will shine.
Illustrations to join stories for future generations,
Preserved through time, a lasting testament to your day.
A click of a button captures precious moments,
Memories the mind may pack away.
Each image tells a tale so true,
Of laughter shared and skies of blue.
Through these still frames, your story will be told,
Whispered in memories as time grows old.
