"A Picture"

It wasn't a long time ago that I had a picture,
One that spoke of a few little things,
It concealed a smile,
And outweighed a few goods.

I had a little purse,
Inside was this picture,
It was old,
Alongside it I carried a note.

It had a captivating small face,
A huge smile,
And then I see it was me in a little white nappy!

I had it and forgot it,
I found it but kept it,
Kept it with my mother's old diary,
Knowing she will not lose it.

A picture when:
I was untouched with fury,
I was simply silly,
I was only my mother's girly,
And loved to be jolly.

Now, it is just a memory!
