MYSTERY PHOTOS
The photographs on this page were sent to me by one of my Henkel cousins.
They were from a collection owned by another one of our cousins from Wisconsin.
Please contact Judi Henkel, , if you have any comments or if you can identify any of the

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 time
To tell, who, what, where, 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 tossed 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. |
