Come touch me, child. <br />My withering skin comes to me fast. <br />It wont be long until I'm gone... <br />And much I have to share, <br />To give and remember still <br />Will collect like dust and fade away! <br />Come sit with me today <br />And connect this link <br />That should not break or rust ignored! <br />Keep this moment stored within you... <br />And pass this treasure on! <br />Come touch me, child. <br />This ancestor wants nothing better <br />Than to leave you with the keys <br />To unlock your wealth... <br />Whenever you are in doubt <br />Or left in search to find an identity, <br />You must keep proud and flaunt about. <br />Come touch me, child. <br />I will not let you wander in darkness! <br />Come touch me, <br />Before my light is turned out.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
