The girl behind the camera…
More commonly known to myself as me
For my time is spent behind the lens,
rather than in front of it.
Someday when you look at the scrapbooks
I’ve created through the years,
filled with photographs and memories,
you’ll know that your Mom was
the girl behind the camera.
And although you may not see me,
I was there…
laughing at your silly face,
capturing that moment that went by so quickly
and watching you learn and grow along the way.
Sometimes I made you giggle or
asked you to smile just once more.
I’ve lived through all these memories with you,
and each one has meant the world to me,
because after all,
I’m the girl behind the camera
…and I love you!
xoxo, Mom J
Love this, Monica :)

This is beautiful. I am the same ... preferring to be behind the camera. But someday you will want your girls to have pictures of their mommy too. Force yourself to be in front some times ... but keep the beautiful poems coming.
