Pictures

When he was a little boy
He was scared
Of diving in to the water
So his mother
Sat at the edge of the pool
And smiled encouragement.

He said he took a picture
Of her loving face
In his mind
To help him
Do something difficult.

Our children are our future
They will walk farther
Into the unknown
Than we have ever been
They must take with them
Their own pictures
Of our love.
