Oh Great and Powerful Future
Oh great and powerful future
What will you do with our past?
We’ve labored over the years
To make sure our photos last.
Having filed hundreds in books
Where they’re somewhat organized
By event, by year, but by god
When we’re gone, will they still be prized?
Oh great and powerful future
I know I’m a simple man,
Without powers of prophesy
My life has a limited span.
But please remember these photos
Or if not, why do we save.
Can’t a record of memories
Have a future beyond the grave?
