Poem Artwork

On every table
You will see

Photographic memories
Baby pictures so divine

Cuddling a bear or doll
Smiling for mom or dad

An 8x11 grade school picture
Trying not to smile

Highschool senior
With diploma in hand

College grads
It was all worth while

Weddings for your son and daughter
Pictures of the day

Pictures repeat themselves
Reminding us

That we are getting older
But more than likely better

Photographs depict
Not only

The times of our life
But our lives in our time

Held your sweet picture in hand
and walked lovingly down your
memory lane *Deborah* with you

This poem carries a surprising little twist in that last line. "But our lives in our time." It's that line that carries more in it than the words written there. Reading brought to me the truth of that last line: the clothes, the hair, the black and white, or the bordered glossies, all attributes the youth of today may not understand. So, those couplets at the end are great closing for the couplets in the beginning: "On every table/You will see." Deborah, the universality of this poem is beautiful. Just beautiful. ~~ Diana

They sure do. I am working on my twin brother's autobiography and finding that my memory is not 20/20. However, the old pictures we have don't lie and show us as we really were and what it was really like. It is wonderful that we can now scan them and put them on the Internet to share with our families when before all we could do wss open the albums every chance we got to review fond memories.



Not sure usual subject, but much enjoyed.

Look at that sweet face :)
You haven't changed...

Yes they are a testimony of the times
in our life and for us to recall those times
Very sweet and very nostalgic Deborah

Love and Light

we are getting older,
But more than likely better

As long as we can say that, things are OK.
