Family Photo Poem by Ima Ryma

Family photo, place and time,
Father, Mother, daughter, son, dog,
Occasion for memory prime,
A moment in life's catalog,
Nineteen twelve, July 23rd,
Location is at home, a guess.
The photo being somewhat blurred,
Yet worthy as a keepsake, yes.
The story of this family
Was sometimes happy, sometimes sad.
They shared what was, is and to be,
Living their lives through good and bad.

Family photo, time and place,
Ancestry search that one might trace.
