Shared Memories

We all remember some events,
Although in different ways,
For there's a prism that distorts
When in the past we gaze.

My bros and I can reminisce
And laugh without reprieve, 
Yet recollections vary
From the truth we each believe.

There is no way to prove who's right -
We all are, in our minds -
But memories we share still form
The tie that always binds.

An acceptable sense of camaraderie requires a respectable attitude of love. Peace. :)

Very sweet, Ilene. That's what's most fun about big families.
