Alma's Photobook

Alma's Photobook

© by Bud Lemire on Sept 25, 2015

In some photos from a long time ago

There are some people that I know

Relatives and friends are in each one

Showing they had their share of fun

My Grandma Alma put these photos in a book

Years after her passing, we can take a look

Some taken in Escanaba, some in Racine

The Joints on Memorial day, and Mr & Mrs Green

Some were on the Duford farm. Cows were being shown

My Mom was a little girl then, but in the years she's grown

Theophile & Marie lived on the farm there

In Schaffer, where you can smell the dairy air

The Kidd my Mom played with, had passed away

But several Kidds from that family, still live to this day

Time passes by, years go by fast

In our morality, we never seem to last

Within every lifetime, and for everyone

Make the most of it, have all kinds of fun

Like a picture from Alma's photo book

Take time to really see, wherever you may look

I want to thank my Grandma Alma Duford-Joint

for these photos and all the people in them who

came to life as I looked them over. They are a

treasure to have and to enjoy in a time gone by.
