A Link To Bind Us To The Past

Updated December 6, 2000


Year after year goes by,
Generations are born and die,
Yet still our name lives on.
Lives have been lived --
Long, noble lives and grand,
While others are so short we cannot understand
That they are gone.
A pebble small into the lake is tossed,
It sinks at once but never can be lost.
Wide circles from this little stone we make
Which sets in motion the whole bosom of the lake.
Though short the lives or long, as pleases God,
All sleep at last together in the sod.
Each one into the sea of life was thrown
To sink at last as did the little stone.
But rings of memory 'round the place they fell,
How well the one who's gone was loved, will tell.
This book a memory ring will be;
A link to bind us to the past; a family tree.
