"Keep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past which can bridge the future." Mattie Stepanek
PASSING ALONG THE PAST
Stories before the fireplace told
By relatives who are growing old
Belie the value of trinkets shared
Heartfelt memories can't be compared
Tales of adventures that fishermen tell
Worth any antique that one can sell
The little boy who grips the pole
Awed by the memories from the old man's soul
The grizzled veterans with tales of war
Old farmers with standards youth searches for
The memories remain in a child's mind
Important facts never left behind
