This was sent to me by a cousin in my other family. I thought it
fitting for people
like us family history buffs and also a little up lifting
.
MY ANCESTOR P. Draper

You were shrouded in the mists of time.
A shadow of the days long past.
But slowly, and with loving care,
Your story was revealed at last.
Slowly, I uncovered you
And bared your soul for all to see.
Despite misgivings deep inside.
I hoped that you approved of me.
I pried into your private life,
Revealing secrets long forgot.
Unveiling things you tried to hide,
Telling a past you'd rather not.
Curiosity brought me first,
Soon replaced by a sense of pride.
I LIVE NOW, BECAUSE YOU LIVED THEN,
And you are forever by my side.

Good 2002 wishes to all.
