You tell anecdotes, stories you narrate
To your family and friends, you integrate
Fact and fiction, history and folklore
You read to your children tales that you have adored
Since childhood, you bequeath cherished traditions
Through storytelling, with some omissions and additions..
*
The most important story lives within you
You are hesitant to tell that tale, but it is true
That the greatest story you can narrate
Is your own, the one in which you can integrate
Your past, present and future, your values and motivation
To weave a story as unique as you in your situation…
*
You may think that a very ordinary life you live
But you are still a cauldron of interwoven narratives
That deserve to be shared with those close to you
When you tell stories, share your personal tale too..
*
And if you are a writer or aspire to be one
Write down your story, let your struggles and achievements unsung
Find expression, because your masterpiece would be
Your own story, narrated with authenticity
Passion...unbridled
