Once Forgotten

Invercargill New Zealand 1905

still life now ageing
suspended on a brick wall
no names of value...
polished up the frame glitters
soon in meltdown for its gold.

The amazing thing may be looking back and finding out you've touched more people along the way than you imagined. Golden memories will not tarnish. Executed well!

No name of value ..... soon in melt down for its gold - sad that people and their memory fade and within a couple of generations are gone and forgotten - the returning men that fought in a world war brought an end to the era of prohibition! Knew nothing of this historical era, thank-you for the informative write. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.
