The Memory Keepers

Oh my children,
sow your memories,
cut them at the stem,
gather in your harvest
lest a storm rolls in
crushing their beauty.

We reaped together
an eternity it feels,
of dreams and reality,
but I will slip away and
who then, will remember?
oh children
will you be my keepers?

We can but hope our children will pass on the memory's of us. Not just us , but those of other past generations .I see my self as a carrier of my family history. Your poem , Shells , has great meaning to me , thank you.
