The Captured Glow

In the heart of winter's embrace, a glow,

Soft as whispers, through the branches flow,

On evergreen limbs where memories nest,

A photo ornament hangs, eternal, blessed.

Glistening in the tender, twilight hue,

Reflecting smiles, and skies of blue,

A frozen moment, captured, still,

A testament to love's enduring will.

Each frame a portal, to times gone by,

Echoes of laughter, a soft lullaby,

Faces aglow with joy and cheer,

Bridging past and present, near and dear.

A child's first steps, a lover's glance,

The magic of a first snowfall dance,

All held within this fragile sphere,

A crystal world of yesteryear.

Adorned with care, it tells a tale,

Of journeys ventured, and hearts that sail,

Through the seas of life, and sands of time,

Bound together, in rhythm and rhyme.

Its surface gleams with festive light,

A beacon in the silent night,

Reminding all who pause and see,

The beauty of each memory.

And as the seasons come and go,

The ornament's gentle, radiant glow,

Holds steadfast through the fleeting years,

A keepsake of laughter, love, and tears.

So let us cherish this fragile art,

This photo ornament, close to heart,

For in its shimmering embrace, we find,

The timeless essence of humankind.
