Photographs

PHOTOGRAPHS Down on my knees with a dusty old case, I keep all my treasures and photos in place. Grandparents and Uncles, Aunties with friends, Old houses, new cars, the fashions, the trends. An old photograph a bit faded and torn. A picture of grandma, on the day she was born. My mum on her bike, beside her a beau. My dad with his brothers and sisters in tow. Faces of family,who are no longer here. Bring back sweet memories, a smile and a tear. Each Album a story, a journey in time. An heirloom to treasure, a history--- that's mine.
