Yesteryear

I look at the photos of yesteryear, Gazing at the faces of people, I once knew. With our rifles and our gear, Crowded together were we, Under the winter sky. Those haggard faces all so drear, Still stare out at me in voices I once knew, Calling my name. I look still at the photos of yesteryear, Time has passed, the voices are gone, And the photo will one day fade.
