A Faded Photo - for contest

A faded photo of his father all that’s left of the man A centerpiece in his son’s home on the mantle it stands The creases in the photo match those on his face His legacy, hard labor ~ lifelines to trace September 15, 2024 Letters or Photographs Poetry Contest Sponsor: Ink Empress

A touching write, Gershon. Photographs help reserve the past and legacies. Shalom and a good start to your week. :)

Great writing my friend! Not to forget the corpse with time...a man is less his physical remains, and more his legacy of his deeds.
