What a gift we have in history
To record the days gone by
Rely on more than the electricity
That flows behind the eye
To not be just moments
Single points on a line
To unanchor our events
To spread them across time
Then read a page millennia old
A glimpse into the past
Revisit a tale worth being told
Be grateful such tales last
Learn from errors never seen
Study cities that are long gone
Decipher what some ciphers mean
To guide us as we go on
Appreciate those who came before
Relate to people you'll never know
We have history's power in our paw
Though we are but fish within its flow
