Not the hero’s journey, fighting unbeatable odds
I care about the small stories of everyday folks
Tell me about your neighbors cat
That fat tom that basks in the sun
Elaborate on your fathers favorite hat
And the day he passed it to your son
Share the stories of everyday kindness
Of a chocolate bar shared and a hand held
Of people taking care of each other
And love in all it’s forms prevailing
Tell me small stories, for they are not small at all
they weave the real tapestry of life,
regaling of everyday heroes
against life’s true odds.
