Papa, Mama and Winnie
I’ve placed it in the most visible place
This old photo of black and white
Taken in 1943, the edges worn and frayed
Papa, Mama, and Winnie, eyes so bright
Though one by one they’ve all gone
Each leaving a legacy of love and faith
And while sweet memories linger on
This beautiful photo transmits still
When I gaze at beautiful eyes so soft
Rare warmth and gentleness reside
Dressed in their best, wearing subtle smiles
Beauty forever captured survives!
