1914, poem by Caroline Julin Peterson

For My Descendants

by

Caroline Julin Peterson

To all of you, my forbearers

Here I give thanks while there yet remains

the time

for giving—

Thanks for the fact that

through you

Now I live,

and

know the boundless

JOY

there is in living.

    This poem, a beautiful work of art and soul is a reminder of why it's so important to record our stories. I feel so blessed to have access to it. Thank you for the post. Gus Koerner
