No Ordinary Picture

by Nour Ben Khalifa aged 12

This is no ordinary picture
It’s full of vivid memories
I held it out and gazed
A flood of memories gushed past
Oh my! The past doesn’t last

So, remember
This looks like a picture, but no…
It’s full of secrets, full of life
from another world; another dimension
That flows without intention

This is no ordinary picture
Yet it’s full of wonder
True, it’s old; timeworn
But as vivid as yesterday
And shiny like tomorrow

This is no ordinary picture
I hung it on the wall
Near the entrance
Not far from the exit
Inside my heart, on the hanger of memories

Happy or sad you shall remember
This is no ordinary picture
Full of talking silence
That takes you away
Where you won’t stray

The house you resided
The horse you rode
The people you loved
The heart you enchanted
Just remember, this is no ordinary picture
