Memories Are Not Mine Or Are They

Memories are not mine or are they


We who listen and learn-start to create a story, not
of our lives but of others. 

Memories are not mine or are they.

We as children listen to family stories that seem to 
become our own-creating on true facts.

Parents and grandparents  telling stories of years 
beyond there own: passing down throu generation
after generation.

Memories of the past seem to flicker at present time;
so now we tell the stories of way back  when-remembering
Memories told to us....

Lucilla Carrillo May 20, 2014 at 5:31 PM This is very well written. The stories that are told to you are the ones you will pass on to your own children and grandchildren. You can be surprised of what you can learn.... Lucilla Gina Montalbo May 21, 2014 at 12:42 PM Thank you I have learn a lot from these stories.... Much love Gina....

Richard Lamoureux May 18, 2014 at 12:32 AM I really like this one, it makes me think of the stories told to me by my grand father. This is an interesting perspective.
