Garbett PLANET EARTH 2001 Challenge
My mother had passed away, my father also had long gone,
I sat and thought for a while, I wanted to know where am I from.
Who where my Grandparents, and the kin of my dad,
They died before I knew them, its tremendously Sad.I was lucky with moms, they where always there,
I remember my granny sitting at the table in her own chair.
I picked up a certificate I had, it was for the death of my Pa,
I thought What does this tell me, It does not take me far.
I noticed some figures, it was just my fathers birth date,
I sent for his birth certificate and then could hardly wait.
Days later the postman arrived and I opened my letter,
My fathers birth certificate inside, things could hardly get better.
His parents mentioned by name, the address from where he came,
I can tell you truthfully things in the furure will never be the same.
Wanting to know a little bit more, I make a couple more files,
Listen people out there if you start, it will continue for miles.
Its pleasure sifting through names that your family will find hard,
And Your ideal day out will be a visit around a graveyard.
I sifted and found out much more as its a gift you aquire,
Explaining finding distant cousins researching, a burning fire.There is me Peter in England, and Laura and family in the States,
Ethel in Australia, Veronica, Ann, Howard all giving names and dates.
Now my task for our whole family, the projects got its worth,
Lets link every GARBETT and Kin, on this planet EARTH.
Now all you Garbett's out there, lets get you involved,
Lets have your family links, lets get this huge puzzle solved.
