“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” — Karl Lagerfeld
Wonderful memories of yesteryear,
though long ago, are still so very clear
Trips to the seaside, a visit to the zoo,
hearing the steam train go choo choo
Riding on a donkey on the golden sand,
building sandcastles, they looked so grand
Eating pink candy floss piled up so high,
winning a small prize on the coconut shy
Going on bumper cars and the ghost train,
using my pocket money to ride on them again!
Photographs of the past from when I was a child,
the most vivid of them all, was how my hair was styled!
Memories from old photographs … as a child I had blonde curly hair !
