Ode to Photography

One day at the wedding reception

Is all I took

One glance at the smiles and poses

I knew for a fact

I want to take pictures

I want to be a photographer

The colors of the dresses smiling back at you

It makes you want to capture the moment in gratitude

Let me be a photographer

I promise I will do good

Let me capture the moment

And make it memorable for you

I’ll risk the grouchy people

As long as I can do what I love

Just let me take pictures and capture the moments of life

That means the most to you

Remember instead of forget

Look back at the times you have shared

Remember me taking the pictures

The smiles and happiness radiating of you

Just smile and I will capture you into another time

I’ll capture your memories that mean the most to you

For I am already a photographer
