Treasures in a Box by Pamela Harazim

Come, look with me inside this drawer,
In this box I've often seen,
At the pictures, black and white,
Faces proud, still, serene.


I wish I knew the people;
These strangers in the box,
Their names and all their memories
Are lost among my socks.

I wonder what their lives were like.
How did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways.


If only someone had taken time
To tell who, what, where, when,
These faces of my heritage
Would come to life again.


Could this become the fate
Of the pictures we take today?
The faces and the memories
Someday to be tossed away?


Make time to save your pictures,
Seize the opportunity when it knocks,
Or someday you and yours could be
The strangers in the box.

What will your memories 'sound' like?
