Life can be seen

Through the pictures on the wall

Bubbling babies

And smiling parents

Were the pictures on the wall

Kids with backpacks 

And cartoon stars

Were the pictures on the wall

Laughing with friends

And all dressed up for prom

Were the pictures on the wall

Snaps of the home left behind

On a new, blank page

Were the pictures on the wall

And back again

To babies and smiles

A story retold, repeated

Experienced for generations

Told by the pictures on the wall
