PHOTOGRAPHS

Down on my knees
with a dusty old case,
I keep all my treasures 
and photos in place.

Grandparents and Uncles,
Aunties with friends,
Old houses, new cars,
the fashions, the trends.

An old photograph
a bit faded and torn.
A picture of  grandma,
on the day she was born.

My mum on her bike,
beside her a beau.
My dad with his brothers
and sisters  in tow.
 
Faces of family,who
are no longer here.
Bring back sweet memories,
a smile and a tear.

Each Album a story,
a journey in time.
An heirloom to treasure,
a history--- that's mine.
