It is so crazy the older we get the more we realize how time is short and when others have gone before us, we end up having to go through their stuff to figure out what to do with it. The value that it might've had for the person that once enjoyed those items, may not be the same as those who are still waiting their turn for eternity.
Thank you for writing something that made me sit back and ponder. Happy Monday!

Very nice poem, Beejay. I am old enough to appreciate what lies behind this poem. The two lines that you finish up with are great. Best of luck in the contest.

This is so true.
I have a drawer, in it are photo albums from my dad, he passed over 20 years ago.
Now and then I might pull it out and look through it.
But, I always know it is there. it holds memories, but the ones in my heart and head are brighter and less tarnished with age.

...or sold off to some antique dealer somewhere!
In my younger days I was an antique dealer in France and it would always break my heart to see the mementos, old photos and cherished postcards etc. of grandparents, aunts and uncles just left behind without a qualm, for me to clear with the rest of the house.
So I understand and empathize with your poem more than you can imagine!
Beautifully written and yes, so sad. Thanks for sharing.

What you have written stands true and yet the collection you speak of will pass through until the people in the frame will bring no recollection, as for eternity it is a very long time without beginning and without end.

What a beautiful and poignant reflection on memory and love! The imagery of the photo frame and the passage of time evokes a sense of nostalgia and the inevitability of change. It captures how, despite the fading of physical reminders, the love and bonds within a family remain timeless. This piece resonates deeply with the idea that while objects may be forgotten, the emotions and connections we forge endure in our hearts.

Thanks for sharing Beejay.There is a very ripe honesty in this piece. That's life. It's the intangible things that come to make the most difference when all is said and done. Congratulations on your work!

How true it is that 'our photo in that fancy frame/ Will be taken down'- while 'making room for a new generation.' and only the love that was created in our family will survive

The last line is really nice, that cheers me up. There will come a day when we are all forgotten, but the silence will beg for our return, it will miss our laughter and fun.
