Stories Poem by Jeremy Irwin

There is a power is the telling of stories.
May you tell stories to your children.
May your children tell stories to their children.
A legend will never die!
Amazing deeds will find
their creators names
chiseled in stone
upon the mountain of lore.
Fantastic characters,
no matter how imaginary,
will continue to captivate throughout the ages.
Go and tell world:
Stories of strength against all odds
Stories of love and stories of hate
Stories of friends and those who betray
Stories of magic and stories of wonder
Stories that make us cry:
It is through a great story
that bonds can be formed
and lives changed forever.
It is the great stories
where we find those
who have strength we wish we could have
and therefore give us
the courage
to go out and achieve.
Fiction or not
True or false
Tell a tale that arouses the mind
and refreshes the soul.
It is only a story
It may not be real,
but the emotions we feel
we really feel.
