The Importance of Stories

Stories of so many kinds

Dance within our children’s minds

There they see both foes and friends

They see beginnings

They see ends

They may see the chance to fight

For peace and justice, for what is right

They find questions about how to grow

Where to rest, and when to go

They’ll find answers for who they are

And each becomes a guiding star

That lights the story they are in

Already begun and not yet the end
