The Camera!

A glimpse of beauty, a time to remember

Birth of a newborn, a marriage, a sunset

Time of the moment, written in history

Uniqueness of life, never repeated

Now we can do this, a simple App

Is all we need to record forever

Memories of moments 

In time we'll treasure 

Years past we needed  equipment

The camera, a bag a tripod and film

Lenses for this lenses for that

No spontaneous moments in nature!

Further back there were various forms

Of  camera and ways to capture

Those treasured times we chose

To remember for those caught in rapture

History books and tomes  of text

punctuated with drawings

To illustrate the point for those

Who prefer it much less boring!

And so we've learned new ways

To preserve that moment in time

We will want to remember those

Images of your joys and mine
