Memories
Memories in black and white, of sunny days gone by,
Recalling smiles and music, the taste of summer fun,
The blue of sky, the yellow sun, the bright green of the grass,
In black and white photos in my mind, now that the days are done.
Those silent pictures singing out their music and their joy,
Of hayrides, songfests, parties and families gathered up,
To pat the heads and see the smiles of the newest younguns,
And all of that crammed into a photograph with edges all curled up.
Your fancy computers may hold a lot of data, and then connect you,
With a world much wider than Ive known and wandered,
But if it cant expand a faded image into distant laughter,
Then you may find it isnt time but life youve squandered.

From about 1952 until shortly before I graduated from high school in '57, I worked in a country store on weekends. One of the customers that came into the store on a regular basis had a Model A from about the same period as the car (Model T?) in the picture. It was a two seater with a rumble seat. I know that you aren't supposed to covet but I sure did covet his Model A. I never got a Model A but I did manage to get a '57 Chevy in '59 and that was almost as good.
