As I look through the box,
I come across,
A chocolate covered face kid.
Two sisters together asleep.
First day of school.
First bicycle without training wheels.
A trip to the beach.
Halloween, Christmas, and Birthdays
Sour faced kid with lemonade,
Dress up, tea party's and pretending to be mommy.
Everyone matching of course.
Hair tied up with a bow
Sand between our toes!
Everybody together for a quick pose.
Some are faded,
Others torn.
But memories for sure.
All in a box
Some large, others small.
Memories of the conversations,
The laughter, the fun.
All comes back
With one glance at a photograph!

The author's comments:
I wrote this after one evening spent with my sisters looking through boxes of old photographs. Funny, how they took place years ago and you forgot about those memories until you take a glance at a photograph and the memories come back. Strange how the picture never changes but the people in them do.
