Old Photographs

Moments stuck in time
Artifacts of humankind
They echo from the past
These old photographs
These captured memories
Of the ghosts that haunt my family tree
I see my face
In these old photographs
They take me for a ride
To the people and places of distant times
So faded and cracked
These old photographs
All the secrets they reveal
All the history
So real but so surreal
All the mystery
The stories that they tell
They wake up the past
These old photographs
They document my life
Some make me laugh and some make me cry
Some moments I want back
These old photographs
