Stories



I remember the stories I was told
Some I had heard before
Others that would give me hope
I guess it is my turn
As the globe provides years to learn
All about what it means
to be me

I remember the times that were hard
Some memories can be free
Others that I charge to myself
I know that some memories aren't free
The price can cause a pain that is too deep
All about what it means
to be me

I remember the friends
Some relationships I longed for
Others that had to end
Getting older and wiser all the while
learning from my mistakes
All about what it means
to be me

I remember the stories that unfold
I hope for the stories that will cause a smile
I wish for the stories that I'd never want to forget
Other stories that have yet to be written
It might take time to see
All about what it means 
to be me
