Time Lapse

Were they good days? Jesus, I don't know.
The photos seem to say they were. We
Smiled, looking backward from our chairs,
Or fishing from the pier. The kids were
Small and, at the time, appear to not have
Had their spirits dinged, as photos show
Them now. The light seems dimmer in
Their eyes, in all our eyes, though we still
Smile, looking backward, fishing from the
Pier.
