PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

They posed in their skates on the driveway…

They were young and beautiful and bright…

and a camera captured that moment

for an eternity

In black and white.

You could feel the joy on their faces

“We are invincible!” their smiles say…

It was back when the days were short

the years were long

and all they did was play.

Many years have passed since then

And I wonder…as they grew…

Did they skate on to a happy life?

Did all their dreams come true?

Do they remember that day in the driveway

when they were young and beautiful and bright…

when a camera captured that moment

for an eternity

in black and white?

I hope there’s still joy on their faces?

I hope “We’re invincible!” their smiles still say?

Now that, once again, 

the days are short, the years are long

and all they need do…

is play.
