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.

Nice. I always find it calming to look through old photos....at least until you get to the one you forgot about that is a shock to the system when you see a person you once knew become a stranger as you see their face again. It is always a calming and reflective experience for the most part, but there is always the possibility of the floodgates opening at the turn of the next page.
Very well expressed.

[Najam Us Saher]

Snap shots are the treasured memories we can always go back too, We take pictures to remind our selves later on that we did something amazing or we were somewhere incredible and we were with the ones we value the most.
If tears fall, they are tears of joy, sometimes we will cry because we lost someone and we can only see them again in a pic or 2 but isn't that something good? even though it is sad, isn't good that we have something to remind us of them? and the times we had?
Great piece of work Najam :)

[Najam Us Saher]

Yes you have understood the exact meaning I wanted to convey. Thank you so much ☺

Your welcome, and you have to understand the real meaning behind the lines that the words have produced or else why read at all :)
