The Genealogist's 23rd Psalm

Genealogy is my Pastime ... I shall not stray,
It maketh me to lie down and examine half-buried Tombstones;
It leadeth me into still Courthouses.
It restoreth my Ancestral Knowledge;
It leadeth me into the Paths of Census Records and
Ships Passenger Lists for my Surnames' sake;
Yeah, though I wade through the Shadows of Research Libraries
and Microfilm Readers,
I shall fear no Discouragment, for a Strong Urge is with me.
The curiosity and motivation, they Comfort me;
It demandeth preparation of Storage Space for
the Aquisition of Countless Documents;
It anointeth my Head with burning Midnight Oil,
My Family Group Sheets runneth over.
Surely Birth,Marriage and Death dates shall follow me all the Days of my
Life,
And I shall dwell in the House of a Family History Seeker Forever.
