Generation To Generation ~*Marge Tindal*~  Hand to hand across the years Bible passed through many tears One must leave so another can share the precious memories recorded there~ I've become the keeper of things from generations of the past Now it's time to pass the inheritance so the thoughts will live at last~ From cedar chest keep, the instrument that held her faith aloft I pass it now to hands so new whispering words so soft~  Delaney, this belonged to your Great Grandmother though she left this earth before you came I gift you now her Bible inscribed with her own name~ May you find the faith to sustain you that she did when she was here I know she'd want you to have it so cherish it my dear~ Know each time that you read it your Great Grandmother read it first She lived and breathed the Word of God May it now quench your thirst~ Each day when you have need of it open it and read His treasured word Your faith will carry you far sweet child and your Great Grandmother's voice will be heard ~ For she marked special passages to lead you where you need to be Blessed are they who follow Him unto eternity~ *Inspired by LightHouseBob's poem, 'In Hibernated State' /pip/Forum25/HTML/003159.html Thank you, Bob~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Thank you all very much for the touching comments. I have no doubt that my mother's Bible will be treasured by Delaney as she grows in His love~ These are the years of giving while one can be around to see the benefits of sharing~  *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge, Oh My Gosh..... Isn't GOD Wonderful? I am so honored to be just be a little itsy-bitsy part of this most tender occurrence. What better gift can one pass down through the generations than that of a life lived for Christ? What better gift could you give your little Delaney than a testimony of her Great Grandmother's Faith as found in the "marked passages" of her Bible.... My soul just glows in admiration for your acts of Love expressed here in your poem. Again, thank you my poet friend for your continued uplifting words that have touched so many here through your gift of poetry. GOD bless you and little Delaney with her new beautiful gift from GOD and generations past. -Bob |

Marge this is incredible, but when you think of the word of God how it never ends, Heaven and Earth shall pass away but the word of God will never die. There is no greater gift than this. |

Marge~ This is so very loving. We've a Bible in my extended family and when we gather for family reunions it is the first and last thing I hold in my hands. To me it is God's gift that lives on forever, and the strongest tie that binds. Your poetry warms my heart in so many ways. Thank you for this. |

Marge, my Aunt Sue gave me my grandma's bible, and when she passed away, I had to fill that in on a page she had started that has the births, deaths, and weddings listed. It broke my heart to fill that in. I am the keeper of things old in my family. Someday, that bible will be mine to pass along. Thank you for this, I know you know  |

This brought tears to my eyes, Marge... There's so much joy and hope in the simple act of passing something precious along... so much sadness that the original owner can't be here... and so much love, binding the generations together. Beautiful! |
