The book was old. The leather cover was faded from age.
Picking it up one could feel the years waiting to be read.
There is a reverence about the book.
Opening the book there is a sense of history,
The front pages are covered with writing.
Names, dates, births deaths, marriages,
The names and dates spanned well over one hundred years,
The pages showed much use. Looking through the text, there are many passages underlined, in many colors of ink.
The book lives in a place of honor.
High on the shelve in the living room.
