Photographs
PHOTOGRAPHS
Down on my knees
with a dusty old case,
I keep all my treasures
and photos in place.
Grandparents and Uncles,
Aunties with friends,
Old houses, new cars,
the fashions, the trends.
An old photograph
a bit faded and torn.
A picture of grandma,
on the day she was born.
My mum on her bike,
beside her a beau.
My dad with his brothers
and sisters in tow.
Faces of family,who
are no longer here.
Bring back sweet memories,
a smile and a tear.
Each Album a story,
a journey in time.
An heirloom to treasure,
a history--- that's mine.
