The Photograph

Looking through old photographs
Opens up my memory….
Here I see a baby small,
Now I see you start to crawl.
See the Teddy birthday cake,
And the first real steps you take.
There you are…1st day of school.
Here’s you wading in the pool.
Now you’re dressed like Superman.
Look at you in Disneyland.
Now I see you growing tall.
My little boy is not so small.
Years have come and years have gone–
Happy, sad and growing song.
Where are all the babies now?
Time has taken them somehow.
To see them small; to see them laugh,
I can hold a photograph.

  1. I simply want to say I am all new to blogging and site-building and absolutely enjoyed this page. Probably I’m planning to bookmark your blog . You actually have excellent posts. With thanks for revealing your web page.

  2. This poem reminds me that photograph’s are little captured memories that can remind us of times now gone. I get lost in them sometimes and it can often be powerful or bittersweet.
