Cell Phone Photos
The streets were not the same today,
For nervousness did rule
As moms and dads escorted kids
Their first day back to school.
As cell phone cameras helped record
This memorable event,
I wondered if those parents knew
What’s not quite evident…
That years will slip right from their grasp
And melt into the past.
These monumental moments,
Though they’re precious, do not last.
At least I have those first day photos
In a dusty book,
But what will happen to the pics
On phones those people took?
The most important memories
Will vanish into air
Unless we print those images
To prove that we were there.
