Antiquated Memories in the passing of the photographs from decade to decade to yet another often the earliest pictures often show father, mother, sister and brother later on with the advent of youth how naïve the innocent look of then causes all of us to cast a glance at couth and to know we look better in the when so often have I pondered upon the days of past and shed a tear passed along the salt of worth within me since before my birth recording of time and much decision no longer leaves a sense of derision but strength in resolute character abounds faded records of this we have found and through all these memories we glimpse a smile within of thee a smile that would through trouble cast a light by which to leave the past someday in the records of we our ancestors may see humility in record of times as they were this, as a legacy, stands for sure Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

recording of time and much decision no longer leaves a sense of derision but strength in resolute character abounds faded records of this we have found and through all these memories we glimpse a smile within of thee a smile that would through trouble cast a light by which to leave the past someday in the records of we our ancestors may see humility in record of times as they were this, as a legacy, stands for sure ================== very very cool ... love the premise and inspirations of this ... I used to love spending the day with my grandmothers looking at the old black and white photos ... they are indeed treasures excellent writing Sun jm Some people find subtlety in strangers if you find anything~let me in Your eyes~you see everything my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know |

Kari love, ah well it just shows what a little devil I am here I am working away (Well supposedly and I'm skipping off of my screen to visit here) Actually it's what would otherwise be dead time, (this being a hospital that is what they call a freudian slip I think). And there's an amazing amount of it too. Well either that or I delegate, no you're right I don't I should but by the time I've explained it I could have done it. which is another reason I'm nearly always here (at work) and not doing something far less productive. This really is an amazingly wonderful piece from you. Take care Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Hi Sunshine! This is great! Makes me think, I'm the keeper of the antiques and photos in my family, and as they get passed down, it makes me wonder what they will think when they see pictures of Great, great grandma Sue.....LOL they will probably say she was a dork! -SEA |
