The Photograph
A black and white image
photographed long ago
framed and protected
hangs on the wall
a handsome young soldier
his pretty little bride
their eyes shining bright
with love and life
life, long and happy
for the man and his wife
three children, a house
and the love never runs out
sixty-one years full
of joy and delight
were captured in that
first black and white
of a handsome young soldier
and his pretty little bride
as they began the beginning
of a wonderful life
