I'm so happy that it meant something to you! I honestly can't remember where I found that poem...I was hunting something else in a drawer the other day, and hadn't even remembered it. I think someone gave it to me when I was married. It just seemed so appropriate...:) Thank you, Jessica! I’m so happy that it meant something to you!

I have a copy of the poem in a book simply titled RUTH BELL GRAHAM'S COLLECTED POEMS. Mrs. Graham has included this poem in a section labeled "College and Early Love Poems." She states in the foreward, "...I am, obviously, not a true poet, and these poems were never written for publication...I've written because, at times, I had to... These, you might say, are merely the footprints of a pilgrim." And quite some pilgrim, I must say! Blessings to you and your husband. Dear Lanier,

I have enjoyed reading your blog very much (the design is especially beautiful).

Are you interested in genealogy?

My sweet mother died two years ago and after she died I found a bulging file in her desk filled with family research. My grandmother (my mother's mother) is 95 and still quick as can be and she and I have dug out all sorts of old family photos and labelled them. Since my mother's untimely passing, I am more conscious of the need to memorialize all the family lore and stories. (Another thing that I like about your site- you obviously share the same appreciation of the past and the need to connect to it.)

I love so much about the past...it does give you such a wonderful sense of continuity to understand your own history. Let me know if you find any links in your family tree to Thomas Butler Lanier. :) You are so wise, Nancy…I know that your children will appreciate the beautiful picture of their family heritage that you and your grandmother have puzzled together. :) It is fascinating, isn’t it?
