Sheltered Memories

I did some traveling A few years ago I wanted to meet family That I really didn’t know Some lived in the same Family home for years Full of precious memories From happiness to tears I listened to stories These folks had to tell Treasured sweet memories I saw my notebook swell For these were the stories That needed to pass Down through generations So questions were asked I saw how they lived A different life from mine Heard tales of today Many from another time I smile as I see photos Of family from the past Photos shelter memories That will forever last!
