Let there always be a reason
To create a picture book
Filled with memories and photos
Upon which we may look
Let the faces that we gaze upon
Bring laughter, tears, and joy
Unfolding special moments
In a history to enjoy
And hopefully, as years pass by
In a future yet to come
This little book of photos
Will reveal where we've come from
For we carry deep within us
All that's gone before
Receiving from our ancestors
Gifts and traits galore
Reflected in the way
we express ourselves today
A very special you and me
In each and every way
What a wonderful remembrance
To share with family
An album filled with pictures
From a growing family tree
A reason to give thanks
For the talents we possess
Our gifts of heritage
For which we've been so blessed
And let us all remember
In this keepsake made with love
The Source of all these treasures
Comes from God above
