My TIME MEMORY photo book

I originated in a factory
Lonely in the shadows
Being looked and read at in the shining
Meadows
People smiling and complimenting me
I was made to hold all of their memories
Kids like seeing their parents in an older generation
Reading and moving to the next page in
Patience
I watch and stare all the time
While I have nothing to do but just lie down
So this is my last chapter of my book
But people still give me a good look
I used to be shining like a star
Now I am old rugged, rested and retired
