Faded Photo (First Draft)

Mum,
That time you lifted me
High above the ground
Into a small inflatable pool,
Laughing while splashing me
with water, your smile felt like the sun,
Warming me, blinding me...

That smile seems faded now,
The colours not quite alive,
The vibrancy has gone,
The ghost of that moment...
Just a ghost.
