We opened the cornerstone box from 1901

Let amazement, wonder, and curiosity run

Our ancestors before placed documents, pictures and things we sought

To find out what their lives were about

So…. we too will encase such documents to trace

With hope that you will have curiosity of our fate.

May some of you match memories that will last

With links found within to verify our crossing your past

Think not of us strange, but proof of our times

Were to enable your lives and ours to entwine.

As you open this box of 2000 and One

We want you to know, as we watch from above, Together we share our God given love.
