Old Photographs

 
"Old photographs have something that is beautiful
and timeless, like works of art."

                                             Quote _ Unknown


I have tons of photos,
boxes inherited:
full of old photographs,
of people quite unknown;
some lovely and some laughs.

I have tons of photos,
love the ones of babies:
and children all dressed up,
the weddings and couples;
sadly some are beat-up.

I have tons of photos,
moments frozen in time:
forever part of life,
though their souls are long gone;
hope they had joy not strife.

I have tons of photos,
love the ones of pets too:
a dog, bird, or sweet cat,
the old folk and the young;
some thin and some quit fat.

Hiya Sharma January 27, 2024 at 7:13 PM Oh my, this is such a heartfelt and emotive write dear Constance, old photographs truly unfurl in a unique sense of nostalgia.. Sometimes, bringing those past moments alive in front of our eyes.. Bringing memories, bittersweet ones too.. And the reminiscences of our loved ones, whose souls have departed from this earth..They forever live in our hearts. I love how creatively you've crafted this monchielle stanza poem.. And that photograph that you've shared, is that you? It's so pure and lovely Constance La France January 28, 2024 at 5:09 PM Hiya, thank you for the compliment and wonderful, comment, I love this photo but I sadly do not know who it is, I have a thousand questions for the people in my box of photos, Constance
