Families

I think families are softly woven Just like a piece of fine linen Such tight and delicate threads Many fragile stitches are hidden Tombstones tell a story When folks were born and died Old, worn and weary But the important dates don’t lie Many come from other countries It’s exciting for us to see Each one tells a special story Moss-covered under a tree Genealogy books are so important To follow families down the line Sometimes quotes from family members And newspaper clippings over time It takes a lot of work and dedication To put this information together But it’s so important to pass down So much there is to capture So we cherish our extended families No way better than genealogy books And pass them down to generations Stories flow softly like a gentle brook!
