Sitters on the running board,
a sibling photo opportunity .
Showing off our touring car,
and ties that bind a family.
Frequent walks down memory lane,
simpler times in virtuous reign.
Remembrance of ancestral ties,
to those with whom we identify.
A time when life's afforded pace,
was slower than this frantic race!
More compassion for society,
becomes passe through history.
I wish to reverse the hands of time,
and live back when life felt sublime.

You do a solid job with rhyme and rhythm, transforming the prompt into words. There is a nice sense of nostalgia here, as well as a thoughtful response to the photograph--both much appreciated. Thank you.

Very Beautiful!!!
Thank you for sharing your hint of nostalgia amid your thoughts on the family ties that bind in love, warmth, closeness, virtues, memories, and the wish to turn back ye olde hands of time to "yesterdaze" in such an awe-inspiring poem. Great work!!!
Peace, Cyn

This is very good ...
and fits the prompt perfectly. You might want to fix the typo in line 9:
And times when life afforded pace, (times when life's afforded pace)
otherwise it's all good.
