How many times have I wondered, 'Was my hair really that dark? ' or 'Was my mother ever young? ' and the frozen pieces of time help this old mind to remember. How marvelous to see your family in my mind, and to know that little blond haired boy! Linda

You captured it like a National Geographic journalist with these details of family and life in general...Beautifully penned Mr. Crowther! !

crowhere, the title of the poem iself is so good.

So beautifully breathtaking writing! I too look at old photographs yet, never saw things the way you have so elegantly pen in this piece. What an amamzing thought. I will never look at my old pictures in the same mind frame. Thank you! Rene'

Such a Picture Too, that you have given us here, I like how you have described what you see, so that we too may see the picture, that the camera has frozen in time... Lynn ~

At first glance, this poem seems simple; yet the scenes you chose to display, like what a photographer does when he aims his camera, are important, even after fifty years. Thanks for letting us have a look! Raynette

I found this poem very touching. A snapshot of a family...it underlined for me the importance of families. I liked the way you wrote it.

your words make an interesting camera in this piece..For a moment I was there...good writing

a camera has the trick of freezing time, just like words have the trick of freezing experience, and sometimes, of freezing imagination!
