BERKSHIRE - TWO HUNDRED YEARS IN PICTURES 1961 illustrated by Norman Rockwell

****

Lord, help me dig into the past

and sift the sand of time

that I might find the roots that make

this family tree of mine.

Lord, help me trace the ancient roads

on which my fathers trod

and led them through so many lands

to find our present sod

Lord, help me find an ancient book

or dusty manuscript,

that's safely hidden now away

in some forgotten crypt.

Lord, let it bridge the gaps that haunt

my soul when I can't find,

this missing link between a name

that ends the same as mine.

- Robert Wood
