Oh Snap!

What makes a picture special
Is however rough the times be
I can always cherish your smile
And it makes me feel all better

What makes a picture special
Is when you are far away
I know that you are waiting for me
And then everywhere feels like home

What makes a picture special
Is when I and you dont get along
I can turn back time and see
That a honest apology wouldn't be so bad

What makes a picture special
Is now when I am rotting
You're still beside me
As you were so long ago

What makes a picture special
Are not the lush green valleys
Or celebrations past
Was not the broken leg
Or the signed cast
Won't be the bittersweet memories
Or friends long gone
But what makes it special
Is you

Good poem, does not qualify as lame.

I think I would prefer a painting to a photo. I always get this feeling that a photo fails to capture something essential, despite all its detail.
