Dear Photograph

I was younger then
Captured within a frame

As much as I change
It will always remain the same

Put up on a wall
Or held together in a book

Wherever it's held
It's there for people to look

Now go back to that place
Go forward 10 years to today

Take a picture of that memory
In the same way

Dear Photograph
I've got so many things to tell you

Of years that have passed
And things that are new

Dear Photograph
You'll always make it through

And this photograph
Will always stay with you

Inspired by Dear Photograph. "Some of the Web's best sites consist of variations on one simple idea. In the case of Dear Photograph, that idea is taking a snapshot - usually one featuring one or more people and dating from the film-photography era - and holding it up against the original setting so that the past and present blend into a new work of art. The images contributed by the site's readers are wonderfully evocative. Looking at the family photos of strangers was never so transfixing. - TIME Magazine"
