The things we have
those that have meaning
part of our history
the family from which we come
treasures handed down
part of who we are
those who led, who lived
the faces we resemble
touching our past
in their things
our memories washing down
richly blessing us
all that we are
connected with them
our family
down through the ages
not in the stuff per se
but in touching our past
