Analysis of Photograph
When the days
of youth are new,
bright are the sun's rays
the whole day through.
Life is vibrant
a passion of dreams
that fully enchant
our wondrous esteem.
Brimming with fullness
each day we embrace
without fear or sadness
challenges we'll face.
These are the years
of lasting memories
when we hold dear
dreams upon a breeze.
For in days ahead
when we search our mind
for memories sacred
a photograph, we'll find.
