FebulousFebruary 2026: The Old Photograph

The Old Photograph,

Memories contained,

Flashes of hope and love

Colourful smiles

Laughter

Happy faces,

A modern snap,

I remember those close to me.

The Old Photograph,

Maybe in sepia tone,

Who is it?

Relatives of years gone,

Stoic postures, 

Hardened faces

Bodies built for work,

An era gone by.

The Old Photograph,

Black and white,

A lass standing on a pier,

Hair flying in the wind

She looks happy, content,

Babe in arms.

The war is over.

Memories contained.
