Do you like old photographs?

I purchased these
at an
Antique Mall
and
even though they're people I never knew,
something about them fascinates me.
What were they like?
What did they do?
What made them laugh?
What made them cry?
I love seeing
their faces,
their hair
and their clothes
but,
I can't see
their soul,
the essence of
who they were.
Kinda like this one of
my granddaughter and her kitty,
Well,
maybe you can tell
a lot from
that one
sparkling
eye.
Kinda speaks volumes doesn't it!
