Your Name

You got it from your father
it was all he had to give,
So it's yours to use and cherish,
for as long as you shall live.

If you lose the watch he gave you,
It can always be replaced,
But a black mark on your name, son
Can never be erased.

It was clean the day you took it,
and a worthy name to bear,
When he got it from his father,
there was no dishonor there.

So make sure you guard it wisely,
For when all is said and done,
You'll be glad the name is spotless,
When you give it to your son.

 

23rd Psalm for Genealogists

Genealogy is my pastime, I shall not stray
It maketh me to lie down and examine tombstones
It leadeth me into still courthouses
It restoreth my Ancestral Knowledge
It leadeth me in the paths of census records and ships' passenger lists for my surnames' sake
Yea, though I walk through the shadows of research libraries and microfilm readers
I shall fear no discouragement, for a strong urge is within me
The curiosity and motivation, they comforteth me
It demandeth preparation of storage space for the acquisition of countless documents
It anointest 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.
