"To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul". - Andri Cauldwell Just an old photograph, in black and white No dye to reflect the calm of hope’s song Shadows blow across the heart’s golden light Snapshot comes alive, a soul seems so strong Image of light and love, sure to excite Singing wonder through hearts all their lifelong While the past will remind me of His grace There’s joy that nothing on earth can replace Just an old photograph, meant to inspire Faded thoughts echo a silent prayer Black and white beauty I always admire Wonder from a heart who is still aware Eager breaths of elation start a fire Just an old photo who was meant to share In the end, I hope the heart will believe Love snapped a photograph for those who grieve.

The last two lines made me cry, "In the end, I hope the heart will believe Love snapped a photograph for those who grieve." Yes, to see in black and white is a delight for the soul, and those old black and white photos were precious in their scarcity and petite size. Thank you. J :)

Its fun sometimes to pull out old photographs. Sometimes those old photographs come with stories that we know about today, while other times we would need our parents or grandparents to tell us about what was going on in the photo.
