Those Times That We Now Hold Most Dear

Those times that we now hold most dear,
Are the ones that, year after year,
We recall to our minds after
Our jolly moments of laughter.

Sometimes, they suddenly appear,
Those times that we now hold most dear;
When we are all gathered around 
Some old photographs that were found.

They fade as time continues on, 
But they are never fully gone—
Those times that we now hold most dear;
The ones that bring us the most cheer.

Those who were once young now grow old,
And gather in the same household,
As they remember and revere,
Those times that we now hold most dear.

Photography has always been a part of my life and I am so grateful that we are able to keep moments alive through that special art. Years have passed by so quickly yet youth is held stead fast in photographs. I loved your poem. Blessings xxoo
