Storyteller
February 28, 2013
Five years young,
letting the stories seap in.
Innocent. Naive. Wide-eyed.
Thriving on the tales—
never forgotten.
Seventeen years young,
I see things I didn’t before.
Struggle. Regret. Passion.
Their eyes tell the story—
never forgotten.
Thirty-eight years young,
next generation.
Innocent. Naive. Wide-eyed.
Stories told, stories kept—
never forgotten.
Sixty-one years young,
I’ve lived them now.
Struggle. Regret. Passion.
It’s my turn to tell the stories—
never forgotten.
