Passing Along the Past

"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
