"The Bible"
I hold in my hands a treasure so rare,I close my eyes and imagine I'm there,When she wrote each name with care,Not knowing with me some day she'd share.
Could she have known what a jewel it would be?That it would be something I waited to see?That one hundred years later the Bible I'd hold,That in it's pages more that God's story is told.
I imagine she was proud of her family,For what greater gift could there be,Did she imagine the family to come?That I would be from the family of her son?
This family heirloom I will handle with care,So that in another hundred years it will be there,For my great-great-grandchildren may it be,A gift they are searching for to add to the family tree.
