Analysis of A Picture
Rev. Dr. Priscilla Dross C. Marcial, M.Div., D.Min.Cand. 1961 (New York)
They say picture is worth a thousand words, they say a picture is the truth untold to see for all.
I say a picture can never capture what you mean to me for it only holds a portrait of a thought for a moment within a thousand of your untold love as we live for so long far apart.
A picture can never say or hear or feel what you mean to me, as the smile only says a moment was saved just for me.
A picture is not enough to say what God meant, the day He blessed me with the miracle of you within my womb, and He placed us together as intended from the beginning of life.
You are the miracle of the picture God intended for me to see. To hold, to care for, to love to be with until God and only God decides a different destiny for all to see.

About this poem
The poem, written on January 23, 2011 was intended to be message within a message for someone seemingly a child who lives far away from the mother. The value of a picture and who the child was thinking about is purely speculative, however, meaningful for the holder of the picture. It is truly worth a million words!
