Family Photos from Way Back When
Family photos from way back when cause me to wonder,
What became of those people?
I know who they were--mom, dad, sisters--of course,
my parents and sister and me;
What became of us?
We are locked in
So many living rooms or kitchens,
Or out of doors
In winter or summer
In Minnesota or South Dakota or Virginia/East Coast
Smiling whiling in
Family photos from when and where and back

Piles of Boxes in a Photo
Piles of boxes in a photo
Summarize my prior life
Before becoming Garry's wife;
Life has been more stable in ways
Since those days,
But boxes more numerous
