Old Photo

Old photos

pass across my screen

digitized memories

of place and people

I one knew

faces familiar

and yet not familiar

young faces grown old

faces long gone

their presence just a memory

smiles

tears

hope

fear

are all there

so too community

and love

good people

caring people

the people who shaped my life

and made me who I am

for better or for worse

but mostly for better

there is nothing quite like a picture

album

to bring to life the way the Sacred works

to illustrate compassion and grace

the family

of

God
