Let’s take that walk along
The stream of life …
Let’s stop and look and learn …
Our fingers dipping in the water …
To retrieve bits of time gone by.

Let’s meet the family we’ve never met,
Look into their faces …
Let’s learn of hardships borne and conquered,
Our Grandparents, Aunts, and Cousins.

Let’s walk along the widening stream,
Until we come to now …
Let’s get to know the ones we’ve known,
And feel the pride of how we’ve grown.
