Old Photos

Old photos are the best,

Especially when they bring back memories

Long forgotten, tucked away

In golden vaults like precious jewels.

Thirty-fives and Polaroids

Passed around to aging eyes

Filling hearts with happy tears

Of days before we learned the rules.

 

Grandpa’s ’57 Ford of unknown color.

Who can tell? Aunt Nellie shot in

Black and white.

She hadn’t switched to color yet.

But Grandpop’s pride was evident

As he put many happy smiles

On gleeful faces, windblown traces,

Fleeting times with no regrets.

 

Taking just a modicum of

Time and space to reminisce

Bygone days bereft of sorrow,

No time or tears to second guess.
