Snapshot

Capture me 
Capture you
When time has passed
Photographs stay true.

1839 the camera
Came to be
Letting us all have 
Memories don't you see.

Cinema blossoming
Smile for the lens
Bright lights and dazzle
Beauty for my friends.

Dreams stand still
Snap snap snap
Pioneers of this event
We give you a clap.

You gave us a tool
We can't live without
A small little gadget
With enormous clout.
