No One to Ask

My brother and I, reminiscing,

Realized we’ve an impossible task,

For as we’ve gotten older, with facts that we lack,

There is nobody left we can ask…

 

Like the age that our grandparents lived to

Or the circumstance when each one passed.

We each had our thoughts but they didn’t line up,

From the mem’ries we both have amassed.

 

There are records and photos and treasures

Which attest to important events,

But the questions which no one can answer

Will forever be kept in suspense.
