2. The poem ‘A Photograph’ was written by Shirly Toulson. In the poem, the author describes a photograph. In the photograph are the author’s mother and her cousins. The background of the picture is the sea. Shirly states that the sea lives a lot longer than humans. Because her mother’s cousin is long dead but the sea remains. Yes, the life of a human seems quite short when compared to the nature. In fact, if nature dies, there would not a scope for new humans. The sea, the trees, the sky and many parts of nature have a very long span of life, the span even human cannot count.
