Picture Box

For some strange reason the need to see a look through the box of what use to be Stacks of time some neatly arranged a glimpse back at lives revealing times changed What seems like yesterday can this be time stamp on the back says May 83’ Look here’s one of gramps sitting in his chair did I really wear that sweater by the way nice hair Bundles of the kids when they were younger is this you as a baby looks like your brother Digging through reveal pictures of rare a heavy gaze of thought can’t help but stare Of more innocent times when I was younger come black and white photos of my father and mother How quickly it takes to look through the years most pictures of joy some bring tears Good for now until the next time I need a look through the box of what use to be -KR-
