"Photos Never Boring"
Photos capture a moment in time
A memory frozen, forever to shine
In frames they sit, still and serene
But in our hearts, they come alive and keen

A smile on a face, a laugh in the air
A sunset so grand, it takes us somewhere
A baby's first steps, a loved one's embrace
These are the moments we can never replace

Photos may seem simple, just paper and ink
But they hold within them, a story to think
A journey through time, a tale to be told
Each one a treasure, to keep and behold

So never say photos are boring or bland
For in each one lies a memory grand
A window to the past, a treasure trove
Photos will never be boring, that's for sure
