An unseen photograph,
a trip back through time.
You wonder who that fellow was?
He was one of mine.
The stories that he could have told.
Of what he'd been and done,
all have now been lost forever.
Never told; just gone.
There's a sadness in his eyes
that cannot be explained.
It's as if he's seen too much
of life, of death, of pain.
And though I've never met the man,
I see some of him in me.
But that thought is just subjective;
we see what we want to see.....
