Flipping through the albums
Smiling at all the memories they inspire
That were previously thought forgotten

From memories of family trips to
Florida, Boston and Las Vegas
And much more

Reminiscing on all the quality time
Spent with family when I was younger
On my uncle who was 6’6 and a half
And trips to my grandparents condo in Florida on breaks

Laughing at the crazy pictures of friends
Just hanging out or going on shopping expeditions
To the mall or Michigan Avenue
Or going to movies almost every Friday night

From Dancing crazily with friends
Or going to Lazar Craze and playing three rounds
And then the arcade games
Or bowling 6 games straight in a row

Laughing at all the fun times
In old cheer uniforms while tumbling and stunting
And at the cute pictures of me as a little girl
Dancing on stage in little pink tutus

To big family Christmas’s at my grandparents house
And all the memories that imply
When there are 7 kids and and 9 grandchildren
Plus a few friends who join in for all the craziness

Plus Hanukkah a few weeks before or after
With my other pair of grandparents
Seeing all the menorahs and presents
Make me smile at our holiday

As I flip through all these pictures
I sit and reminisce
About all the memories that are captured photos
That are now in hundreds of albums
