Photographs are smiles that last forever:
\nSnowmen that can never melt away,
\nBirthday celebrations caught in amber,
\nRescued from the vaults of yesterday. <\/p>\n
Faces that were once more dear than diamonds,
\nBoys who kept you up until the dawn,
\nHouses filled with bicycles and babies,
\nGhosts who left their shadows on the lawn. <\/p>\n
Photographs are holes in time’s grey curtain:
\nThrough them we can peek into the past,
\nCall upon our parents and our children,
\nPop a cork with members of the cast. <\/p>\n
There they are, the days of jazz and joy-rides:
\nSnaps of magic moments lit by laughs;
\nIf you ever find my house on fire
\nLeave the silver, save the photographs. <\/p>\n
