Photograph

PHOTOGRAPH

A series of emotion a photograph carries,

A memory of many events,

Lying trapped in an album,

Untold stories remain a mystery.

Never thought pictures can break us,

Never imagined all will be left would be just images,

No matter how much I cry seeing them,

They never change nor the time does.

Passed down from generations to generations,

They just get old,

Some miss them for a day,

And forget them once it gets fold.

Never knew snapshots had so much power to make people cry,

Or maybe the image of the person it does,

Photographs hold a value,

For the treasured memories in us.

They say capture the happy times,

Forget the sad ones,

Who knows what the time will bring?

Time decides whether a photograph is a happy or a sad one.

Sorry it's taken so long for me to get to reviewing your writing, I've been taking a break from reading and writing reviews. I would like to say that this poem about photos is very true, and makes photos out to be more than just a picture of something that happened, but a personal record of events that have occurred. A close second to time travel, this is the best we can do to remember the past.

[Najam Us Saher]

Okay..I hope you are fine. Thank you so much ☺

[Anjali]

I'm​ really jealous of your talent. This poem, it's amazing, it's everything. Keep writing!☺

[Najam Us Saher]

Oh please don't be. I want to be an inspiration for others not an object of envy. Thank you so much.

[Anjali]

Don't worry, I was just joking! And believe me, you have become an inspiration for a lot of people, including me. And your welcome!

[Shabeeh Haider]

So correct. A photograph hides a story and after years when you look at them they can bring joy or sadness.
nicely portrayed
