Story tellers

 In days of old tales were told
That’s how history was relayed
There was no written word as yet
Everything was passed on down
Through generations on this earth
That’s how story telling had given birth
Each and every story was just like
A small fire: giving light and warmth!
To be shared and gathered around
Communal in its joy: everyone loved
To hear a tale: everyone was blessed
To be a part of their oral history
Where-ever they would roam
These very same tales would
Do the rounds: returning time and again

Keeping traditions alive among old men
