Here's our story, page by page, <br /> Happy youth and middle-age, <br /> Smile and tear-drop, weal and woe <br /> Such as all who live must know- <br /> Here it is all written down, <br /> Not for glory or renown, <br /> But the hope when we are gone <br /> Those who bravely follow on <br /> Meeting care and pain and grief <br /> Will not falter in belief.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/making-the-house-a-home/
