[Ann Maree]

Has anyone got good poems/verse/titles for the front page of our digital albums? Please share!

[Timmysmum]

Ann Maree here is my example of a kids one and the first page of Timothys album I think Vals little pockets are perfect especially if you make them interactive.
I have used them to put little books into and extra tags

I will be thinking about some heritage front pages when I get back. The heritage cd has some great word art that could be used and this quote for heritage would be a good front page too

GRANDPARENT ALBUM
Grandma & Grandpa,
this book is for you,
though it might be quite puzzling
as the pictures are few.

But every few months
if you don't make a fuss,
we'll send you more pages,
with pictures of us!


Had this forever do not know who wrote?

MY UNIQUE GIFT

I have given many gifts in my life, and I suspect I will give many more in the coming years. Some will be interesting, some extravagant, and some will be unusual. But there is only one gift I can give that is unique and truly one from my heart alone. It is the gift of my memories - gathered, preserved, displayed, and passed onto those I love

Dear Ancestor

Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

[Ann Maree]

Come look with me inside this drawer,
In this box I've often seen.
At the pictures, black and white.
Faces proud, still, serene.

I wish I knew the people,
These strangers in the box,
Their names and all their memories,
Are lost among my socks.

I wonder what their lives were like?
How did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways,

If only someone had taken the time,
To tell who, what, or when,
These faces of my heritage,
Would come to life again.

Could this become the fate,
Of the pictures we take today.
The faces and the memories,
Someday to be passed away?

Make time to save your pictures,
Seize the opportunity when it knocks,
Or someday you and yours could be,
The strangers in the box.

Memory Book Under Construction
I'm not just a photo album,
I'm a Memory Book.
But please keep reading this poem, Before you take a look.
Please don't get concerned,
Or worry about creativity.
[scrapper name] will finish all the pages, You just put them inside me.
It may be several years,
Before all the pages are through.
Many photos have yet been taken,
And our family has growning to do.
So please don't put me in a drawer,
Or in a closet in the hall.
Place me somewhere to be seen,
Shared and enjoyed by all.
