through shades of gray from light to dark
photographers of long ago
in black and white they left their mark
a slice of time, they stopped the clock
and left a record so we’d know
through shades of gray from light to dark
as fire burns a city block
a captured image through the glow
in black and white they left their mark
the dedication of a park
they document life as we grow
through shades of gray from light to dark
a winter scene so cold and stark
of horses plowing through the snow
in black and white they left their mark
a hint of an artistic spark
perhaps a point of view to show
through shades of gray from light to dark
in black and white they left their mark
And so they have and in their works they remind us of what was.
