Kara’s birthday poem
I should have posted this at the end of March, when it was Kara’s birthday.
Histories
Where should I start,
And how do I begin?
There are stories in all of us
That want to be told.
This is what history is.
One day, you too will be old,
With a million stories to share,
And more, with those who will want
To listen; children, children’s children,
Friends, followers.
Write them now already,
All those fears, mistakes, and joys,
Those happinesses and hopes, tears,
Until you think there are no more
Words in the world.
And then you will find some more,
For words are eternal,
As are you.
