There are family members framed on my wall
The stories they tell can keep me fascinated
Some stories are short and some very involved
But I have the time and also a listening ear
In fact, some days I sit and stare, waiting
I know they will speak to me, for their soul
and mine have always been connected
We are one, and the family goes on
One tells of a little boy of five, now gone
His death recorded forever on parchment
His parents smile back at me for caring and telling
Another calls from beyond encouraging me to go on
Still another laughs with me, from somewhere
One whispers softly,reminding me of another time
Several hold fond memories of sweet smells
Fresh bathed babies who snuggled up close
Others of traveled miles and places explored
The framed pictures all have a life of their own
And the memories they spark will sustain me forever
The stories they tell can keep me fascinated
Some stories are short and some very involved
But I have the time and also a listening ear
In fact, some days I sit and stare, waiting
I know they will speak to me, for their soul
and mine have always been connected
We are one, and the family goes on
One tells of a little boy of five, now gone
His death recorded forever on parchment
His parents smile back at me for caring and telling
Another calls from beyond encouraging me to go on
Still another laughs with me, from somewhere
One whispers softly,reminding me of another time
Several hold fond memories of sweet smells
Fresh bathed babies who snuggled up close
Others of traveled miles and places explored
The framed pictures all have a life of their own
And the memories they spark will sustain me forever
The above photos are all members of my family and stored safely on my computer and in my heart
Good one!

Nice layout, Clarene (the montage). Wish that I could see all the old photos of my family that have been missing for years.
ReplyDeleteYou could put it all together and publish a community history book! I'm sure that many would be interested in your memoirs and as the younger generation ages, they will have a reference as to where they came from! You have the ability and the knowledge, so why not "have at it"!!!
