Lovely one. I've been going through lots old family photos recently and at times it feels like they are speaking to me, trying to tell me a bit about their lives that I know nothing about. And of course 'stories' can also suggest lies - it's not true when they say the camera never lies - how many of those smiles are faked?

I love looking at old family photos that were in my parents' house. They tell many stories and create many different impressions.

Exactly through gestures, expressions
Much love...
Thanks, jem, Adelaide, and Gillena. By the way, line 2 was directly inspired by Sarah Polley's fine film "The Stories We Tell."
a lot to ponder about reality and interpretations of reality... a fine poem, Bill
Thank you, polona.
