Genealogist's Prayer
Father, help me to probe into yester-year
And sort the fine grains of time
So I may espy the tangled roots
of this kindred of mine.
Lord, help me to tread the arteries
On which my ancestors trod;
And led them further on westward
To find our existing sod.
Lord, help me find an age-old record,
Or a time-worn dusty, musty script
That's been hidden for years secure
In some long forgotten crypt.
Lord, help me to bridge a time-span
That I've been unable before to find,
And fill a missing link of names and dates
So, this family of mine may bind.
