Comment from Margaret Snowdon
Your poem speaks of passing words
on to our children that have been
passed on from generation to
generation, things that have not
been recorded.
Well penned, my friend.

Comment from Frank Fiction
ah, yes, how can an oral tradition ever be kept, if it is never written down, unless it is passed on and on and will it always remain the same or will the telling change so much that the original telling is all but forgotten? Thanks.

Comment from RobertoK
Well done. A fine effort. I suppose the art of passing things on by word of mouth is a dying art. I suppose that's a fact of life but it's still sad. Best wishes, RobertoK.

Comment from Judian James
This was an interesting piece. I know my parents, especially my mom, had lots of mottos that I was brought up on. Then, I in turn, passed the same mottos onto my sons. Now, they have sons, and I'm hearing them say the same mottos to their children. Unwritten, but not forgotten! Well done

Hi again! I like this thoughtful piece. It makes me ponder the ways that people pass on their ideas, their lifestyle, and morals too. All unwritten, but carved into our psych? From generation to generation...good work Gary...Susan

Very descriptive and detailed poem. It's easy to see true meaning behind these words, but I'm not sure what. All in all, a very enchanting poem.

Comment from Janine Ellis-Fynn
This is a beautiful, haunting poem which delivers a powerful message. Indeed, there is so much that isn't written in history books that needs recording. Especially for our children. I believe, that is why God blesses us with talent to write. Write, write, write....like there's no tomorrow. Well done and thanks for posting.

Comment from kchitti
i don't really understand the form here, but that's ok. :-)
carved on stone
> I might suggest 'in' instead of 'on'.
since you punctuated the end word, perhaps capitalize the word "Will" and consider a period after 'stone'. if not, perhaps just kill the question mark at the end.
I'm just a fan of consistency. on the topic, as someone who enjoys family history and genealogy -- I think it's great how much information future generations will have going forward. So much more so, than we have available currently about past generations.
and there's also the old quote about 'whomever knows not their history is doomed to repeat it'
provided we don't blow up the planet, rest assured future generations will indeed learn from our mistakes. at least that is my belief.
