Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Old Photographs

Opening the dusty leather bound album
Lots of memories come flooding back
Dad had a lot more hair back then!

Proud parents when our son was born
How he’s grown into a delightful young man
Outings to the park with his little friends
Turning the pages I start to get quite teary
Old faces of loved ones no longer with us
Good friends and relations who have passed
Rich reminders of happy times in days gone by
Amazing events captured, frozen in time
Pages turned bring tears and laughter
How precious are all these moments

Mike Gentile January 21, 2021 at 4:05 AM I have many such albums Jan and I find that you have perfectly described the feelings evoked whenever I look at them! I have digitized most of mine and added music and such but not nothing replaces the old, worn albums containing the old, worn but irreplaceable memories ! Well done xxoo

JC Brul January 15, 2021 at 5:42 PM I feel nostalgic as I read each line that speaks of long lost memories...Splendid piece Jan...A fave for me..

Connie Marcum Wong January 15, 2021 at 10:11 AM I miss the old fashioned photo albums at our finger tips. I am so far behind at getting my favorite photos copied now that they are in the cloud. This is a lovely nostalgic poem Jan. It is creeping toward the top of the best new poems list, soon to be number one! Congratulations on your win! Blessings xxoo

Ann Gilmour January 11, 2021 at 10:47 PM Such a delightful read dear Jan. Photographs are so precious as they capture such magical moments and take you right back to that place and time - a wonderful poem and sending congrats for your win and POTD - loved it! With love and hugs Ann xx

Terry Flood January 11, 2021 at 3:51 PM Congrats Jan. I wonder how many of today’s photographs will still be viewable in years to come. Lost phones, crashed computers, withdrawn cloud facilities etc will rob many people of their photographic keepsakes. I’m the worlds worst backer upper and I’m sure many people are the same. Value those pics Jan, and well done. Terry

Sam Kauffman January 10, 2021 at 10:15 AM Congratulations on your win Jan! I love looking at photographs and scrapbooking them. They are reminders of moments we want to remember. Thank you for taking us into that world with your wonderful acrostic and for reminding us to capture the good moments before they pass too quickly! hugs for the new year!

Warren Doll December 27, 2020 at 10:37 AM Jan, I has just replied whishing you congratulations on POTD, then your poem and my comments vanished. When I looked again their was a new POTD by Alexis Y,. So I'm back to congratulate you on POTD. Merry 12 days of Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year.

Jennifer Proxenos December 25, 2020 at 12:40 PM Sorry Jan, not on Christmas Day, but close enough to it! Love Jenn.

Jennifer Proxenos December 25, 2020 at 11:53 AM Wow Jan, congratulations on POTD, what a lovely Christmas present . I love the poem. We had upward of 30 photo albums, could not possibly let them take up space in a new smaller home, the albums I mean. So I got a big plastic container and hubby and I went through every album, took out all the special ones - so still have our photos. Elias scanned a lot onto our computer and they are also up in the cloud. Hope you had an awesome, peaceful Christmas Day Jan, dear friend. Hugs, Blessings, Jenn
