Thank you Ann, but I didn't write this wonderful piece. The author email address is on top of the letter. I was touched by it I sent it to a friend before I ask if it was ok to send it out. I feel so bad about it now but it was so pretty I just had to send it out. I think it will be all right to send out but if you would like you might ask Causbymarshall. Thank you and have a great Thankgiving Mary Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. > [Original Message] > From: ann morris <morris7631@yahoo.com> > To: <WVMINGO-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: 11/23/2004 8:46:46 PM > Subject: Re: [WVMINGO] Happy Thanksgiving > > Thank you,this is beautiful.May I share it with friends? > Ann of WV > > Causbymarshall08@wmconnect.com wrote: > The pilgrims came across the sea > and never thought about you and me > yet its very strange the way > how we thing of them Thanksgiving Day > > We tell the story old and true > of how they sailed across the blue > and built their homes close to the sea > to worship God as they pleased > > As a genealogist old or new > we look for facts to prove > when our forefathers sailed the blue > and where they landed to start anew > > we search the records of births and deaths, marriages, census, > taxes and all the news, > Just to prove who belongs to you > > I'm thankful for all the work that was done since they con ashore > For my freedom and so much more > I thank you Veterans who gave so much > And my forefathers whom I research > > I'm glad this land is still free > And for God who watches over you and me. > > Happy Thanksgiving > Pray for our soldiers and our Country > Causby > > > ============================== > OneWorldTree - The World's largest family tree.
