photo
that now includes grandchildren,
along with
husbands and wives,
siblings,
twenty
or more
people stand together,
arm in arm,
side by side.
smiling
for the camera
beside the Christmas tree,
the quiet fire.
the photo gets larger
and larger
with each passing year.
there's grey now
in some hair,
faces are showing their age,
there's thickness
around the waists
that were never there,
but
thankfully,
as of yet, with God's good
grace,
subtraction
has not taken place.
