Help a Family Create a Memory
Snap! Smile! Turn around! Look here!
On a sunny day, with a breath of fresh air,
I took a short walk, on an off-day winter holiday,
Witnessing families, both large and small, capturing memories on a casual stroll.
These snapshots may sync to the cloud, or begin to traverse,
Soaring about, sometimes emerging to the Metaverse,
But without a digital frame, they often linger, forgotten, out and about.
If the photo stands out, it'll likely be aired,
But if not all are in frame, it may fade out, uncared.
On a special day, or when you’re travelling away,
In a distant place, you might seek a stranger's grace.
But on ordinary days, whether the sun is shining or just a muted grey,
You move along, untroubled by fray.
Then, on a typical day, close to home, perhaps near the bay,
You snap a few shots, preparing to resume your way.
Suddenly, a stranger approaches with a friendly stand:
“May I take a photo of your group today?”
An unexpected gesture, a moment of pause,
But then you think, you've never had a family portrait here, just because.
Everyone gathers, smiling wide,
A fleeting moment, now captured to abide.
A memory for today, for eternity, a treasure to guide.
So, next time you spot someone nearby,
Passing around the phone, capturing memories, as if in a merry-go-round,
Reach out, extend a hand, snap a frame,
Be the one who helps a family create a memory.
