Although
taken in 1948, those of us stationed at the hall in the 50's, 60's,
and 70's will recognise the route to work.
(From
Arthur Clarke) |
Photographs
are smiles that last forever,
Snowmen that can never melt away
Birthday celebrations caught in amber
Rescused from the vaults of yesterday
___________
Faces that were once more dear than diamonds
Boys who kept you up until the dawn
Houses filled with bicycles and babies
Ghosts who left their shadows on the lawn
___________
Photographs are holes in time's grey curtain
Through them we can peck into the past
Call up on our parents and our children
Pop a cork with members of the cast
___________
There they are, the days of jazz and joyrides
Snaps of magic moments lit by laughs
If you ever find my house on fire,
Leave the silver, Save the photographs
___________
Fran Landesman, 2002
