Poetry: Snapshots

Snapshots

They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words
What does that really mean?
Are there really that many words to describe a picture?

Leaves behind
Pictures of mom and dad
Husband and kids
And don't forget the dog
Those are the best
Because they're taken with love
I guess the ones that are worth the most
Are the ones that tell a story
Like those of 9-11
So, I suppose, some are worth a 1,000 words
Keep taking those snapshots
Who knows what they will show
