A Photograph
By Len Morgan
Just something to raise a
wistful smile to your face, even on the dullest of days in lockdown. A fond memory of times past, a promise of
better times to come.
Look at that thin gangly
young girl in gingham & pigtails with her jammy face and a mischievous
grin. Who’d have thought she would
blossom into the loving caring mother of our three grandchildren?
Look at that photo of a
young man and woman optimistically embarking on a lifetime of adventure, of discovery,
laughter and tears; that was you and that was me. Look at us now the same smiles but a little
wiser.
What a three-dimensional thing is a
photograph; it covers time & space; drawing memories and emotions from your mind; long-forgotten ghosts from the past.
In the absence of submissions from the group, I wrote this on the fly. Hopefully I wont have to repeat it too often, get writing! 100 words a day...
