A Poem of Introduction by Lawrence L. Weeks Sr.

As I add to this blog with many of the writings of my dad (LLW Sr.),  I found this poem in his notebook that should have come first. I've always believed mistakes can be corrected, so I'll add it now.

 History

As I have Lived It

I am very glad that I was born in the 

caboose of the very last train of the old

fashioned way of life as it chug, chugged

it's way back into the pages of history.

I am, also glad that it dropped me off at a 

time and place that allowed me to live and 

experience, for about fourteen years, a wonderful

life style that most people much older than 

I only read about or heard about from their

parents or read about in history books.

The following pages contain notes and 

illustrations of the way my family and I

lived loved, laughed and worshipped, 

all the while they were teaching me the

most important things of life.

For that, I will be forever grateful.
