As the Photograph Dims

Listen to poem:
As the Photograph Dim David J Walker There was more color At one time Within the wooden frame Time tested, time faded Now a struggle with Each name And even though the Dates remain the same Written in pencil on the back She lacks enough memory to Remain within the context Of the lens As the photograph dims

This was wondrously beautiful, if also very sad. I fully understand both photography, and age... as relates to those we love the most. God Bless your day! Ann

Ann, Thank you. My mother, and now my mother-in-law. It's sad. And I wonder, will it be me someday?
