Genealogy Is My Pastime

I shall not stray;
It maketh me to lie down and examine half-buried tomestones,
It leadeth me into still court houses;
It restoreth my ancestral knowledge.
It leadeth me in paths of census records and ship's passenger lists for my surname's 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.
