PROM PHOTOS

Our granddaughter attended her high school Prom…
her photo was posted on-line
which led me on a hunt through our old photos 
until I found one of me at mine.

As I gazed at these two photos
50 years apart…I quietly exclaimed
how parts of our world have changed dramatically
while others remain the same.

50 years ago social media and computers
were, to us, unknown 
today we have access to the world
and can take pictures on our phone.

But as technologies and social media
readjust and rearrange
friendship, love and high school proms
are things that never change.

Take a look at these two photos
I’m sure you’ll see it too…
how even 50 years apart
we both look good in blue.

You may be wondering to yourself 
which one of us wore it better…
no need to answer…God forbid!
Take another look…
it’s obvious who did!
