NOTES ON A FAMILY ALBUM

NOTES ON A FAMILY ALBUM

I sit before some photographs
Of people I don't know.
Mom said, "They are your relatives,"
But that was long ago.

She used to get the album out
And put me on her knee.
Then pointing, with a story line
Tell family history.

The captions used were all her own,
Each time developed new.
We never thought to write them down
Before her life was through.

I see some family features now,
I have begun to care.
Since Mom is gone, I cannot ask,
"Whose picture is that there?"

If you have the photos in a book
Without a caption, too.
Go get a pen and label them,
or you may wonder, "Who?"
