A Gift

Here is a poem my Dad wrote. If you want to know it's history; look at the bottom of of it!
[I named it]
A Gift
This gift does not appear to be much when compared to dresses, dolls and such.
But within these pages you shall surely find the ingredients to help develop your mind.
And as you grow older you'll resort to it more for the pursuit of knowledge is an ever widening door.
"It matters now how skeptics may scorn the above remark, Let those non-believers remain perpetually in the dark."
Ignorance is theirs to be forever nourished in their breast, for they will never know or envision life at its best.
Time alone will prove the accuracy of these statements, my dear.
The all powerful human mind is indeed The Last Frontier.
P.S. EVERYONE in my family had/have the gift of writing and of being happy voracious readers!

DOH!!! I meant to correct the way I quoted the poem on the poster and forgot!
It should read:
"It matters now how skeptics may scorn the above remark, Let those non-believers remain perpetually in the dark."
