STRANGERS IN A BOX

Hello Everyone,

For a very long time I have been researching my family history, it has been around 30+ years. I have been lucky enough to inherit a lot of very old photos, some dating back to over 100 years old. Through all these years, there have been four photos in my family history photo box that I do not know who they are. They are definitely family members from way back, but who are they? Today I am posting these four photos and a verse relating to these photos. I hope you enjoy this.

STRANGERS IN A BOX

Come, look with me inside this drawer

In this box I've often seen

At the pictures, black and white

Faces proud, still and serene

I wish I knew the people

The strangers in the box

Their names and all their memories

Are lost amongst the 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 and when

These faces of my heritage

Would come to live again

Could this become the tale

Of the pictures we take today

The faces and the memories

Someday to be tossed away

I've taken time to save these pictures

Seized the opportunity when it knocked

Otherwise yours and mine could be

The strangers in the box
