Family History

All those photos and letters
from the past long ago
keep them safe my dears
so people in the future can know

They'll know how we laughed
how we cared and lived our lives
they'll see all our smiling faces
from going on country drives

They'll learn all about us
how we lived and thrived
all our family members
and how hard we strived

Our family history matters
not just to us my dears
to all those people in the future
who can learn from all our years

They'll learn how people lived
how we worked and played
family history matters dears
our lives never decayed

It shows people in the future
our happy times and sad
all our funny moments past
and lives led in times bad

They can learn from us you see
how to have great times
how to be as happy as us
over so many life times
