Orangetown MEMORY Project
pages of time present and past
seasons of change and memories cast
many a vision portrayed in manifest real
be each artifact in fulfillment reveal
with word and object here to unfold
a story, a time, a quest be told
labors and blessed holdings to bear
loving treasures of the Creator's care
keepsake Bibles hold the divine signature of the tree
the WORD in blessings graced unto thee
the gifts of time, place, heart and soul
be these the delights bar the toll
word, artifacts, personage, in regal presentation
remembrances of BEING in honored celebration
within days and visions of a yesterday
behold we the blessings of come what may
in petitions, charters, and each proclamation
there be treasured protections and commemorative celebrations
yes, preserving the past never gets old
for within our story be ever told.
