The 23rd Psalm for Genealogists

         Genealogy is my pastime... 
         I shall not stray, 

         It maketh me to lie down 
         and examine half buried Tombstones; 

         It leadeth me into still Courthouses, 
         It restoreth my Ancestral Knowledge; 

         It leadeth me into the Paths of Census Records, 
         and Ships Passenger Lists for my surnames' sake; 

         Yes though I wait through the Shadows, 
         of Research Libraries and Microfilm Readers, 

         I shall fear no Discouragement, 
         for a Strong Urge is with me. 

         The curiousity and Motivation, 
         they Comfort me; 

         It demandeth preparation of Storage Space 
         for the Aquistition of Countless Documents; 

         It anointeth 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.
