Perfectly square, white tiles line a small, rectangular tub

A vivid blue bar of soap sits near the wall of tiles

Three children fill the tub, full of bubbles

A pair of twin brothers, dirty-blonde and rosy-cheeked

Squinting eyes look into mom’s camera

Two smiles with tiny teeth, some taken by the tooth fairy

Between them a little girl, a sister

Small, chubby cheeks offer an innocent smile

A tower of blonde hair tangled upon her head

All with round, blue eyes

All with hair, sticking up toward the sky

All smiling together

She didn’t know it wouldn’t last forever...

Time goes on and they drift apart

Getting wrapped up with other people

Forgetting what family truly means

Although not close in person

They are close in heart

For memories last as long as you remember
