Family photos in a box
Not real sure of what I've got...
Old tin type of someone now gone
No one remembers her favorite song...
Man in a suit by a beautiful new wife...
Wish I knew where he fit in my life.
And then there's a photo of them with a baby-
Was that their newborn or a nephew, maybe?

Young boys in dresses?
I guess that was the style
But today we laugh
And think it was wild!
An elderly couple in vintage dress
I have no idea who they were I confess!

I wish I could go back to someone who knew
And ask them to tell about these folks that they knew!
I wish I could know how they thought
And just how was life
For that beautiful bride
As a mother and wife!

As I put photos away in a hurry and rush
And say it doesn't matter and
What is the fuss
If I label and journal and store acid free
I remember the box
That was left to me...
