Tucked Away in the Universe

Tucked away in the corners of the Universe are stories untold,
stories about the mild, the meek, and the bold,
stories of those with hearts of gold,
and we will never know how many stories are lost,
going to young from old.

Grandfathers gave all,
Grandmothers gave all,
Mothers gave all,
Fathers gave all,
Sons gave all,
Daughters gave all,
Sisters gave all,
Brothers gave all,
Uncles, aunts, cousins, friends,
all who gave all.

We'll never know,
these stories untold,
of beautiful love,
of sweet harmony.

While we rush about,
and run about our daily lives,
wanting for that adventure,
wanting for that love,
we lose what's right next to us.

We want the world,
we want our names painted in lights,
We want the love,
we want the affection and the might.

But that all fades.
It's all forgotten or morphed together.
What's one more discoverer, one more business man or woman,
or actress, activist, or doctor,
When we are nothing to the one's closest to us?
