I’ve a picture in my mind
I shall try and help you see it
I could never paint it fully
For there’s too much time to deal with.

It’s a picture filled with moments
When pieced together, they piece my life
Every moment is a bonus
Every laugh shared, a pure delight.

I try remember times of laughter
Much more vividly than times of pain
For they are more significant, in the life I’m after
And in hard times, they are often all that keep me sane.
