Howard Osborne Poet Rhyme

FADING PHOTOGRAPHS

FADING PHOTOGRAPHS

Once I thought those sepia tones
Belonged only to a different era
Now, images are on our phones
As quality paper is much dearer

I have albums still gathering dust
With snaps taken many years ago
Always keep them close as I must
Yet how was I supposed to know

Some blurred, and become faded
As memories can also go that way
Over time, quality gets degraded
If only they were right here today
