Sorting hundreds of pictures..

How many families and friends have flown through my life,
landing and nesting in boxes, albums and envelopes.
Moments in time 
frozen on glossy paper
Squares black and white - surface crackled with age
Colour photos - some yellowed, some bright.
Digital electronic images on computer and CD's
Hairstyles and attire shift with each generation
Weddings and birthdays - the growth of us all
Relationships come and gone.
Picnics and parties
Pets - kitties and dogs
Sorting through family lives past
Bitter sweet glimpses of treasured loved ones gone before 
The only snapshot of today
This little bit of poetry.

“A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.”
~ Eudora Welty
