The special book upon the shelf was made with many hands. Our ancestors who posed back then all came from different lands. Their pictures were all tucked away and rarely did we see, The importance of these treasures is The start of you and me. The history of our families now here in black and white Preserved with special care and time Each page is done just right. When time permits, we take it down and think of days long past. Our hopes, our dreams, our heritage All safe and made to last. Life is a scrapbook, torn and old In which our little lives are told, And when the twilight shadows fall This is the sweetest thing of all; To turn the pages of the years, Remembering with happy tears The faithful love, the perfect friend... These things are treasured to the end.
