Everyone Has a Story

Everybody has a story
Everybody has a voice
Different visions of life described
In varying accounts of events

Of visualizing this reality
As the unfolding real life dramas
Determine who we are
Suffering, loss, joy and happiness
Create pictures and images we carry everyday
And become the source
For each new life adventure
