Tracing our years that have passed us by

We can reflect on the hand me downs we wore

Such as the shirts and pants we could not buy

Or the responsibility of doing our chores

Hand me downs of a brother's bike or Father's car

Or the wedding gown from the day that mothers wed

The family pictures we always treasured

Or just the words of loved ones said

Hand me downs that helped us grow

In the wisdom we as children were blessed to share

What we do with our hand me downs is all up to you

We can live in Life's fast lane

Or treasure the hand me downs that guides us true

Hand me downs are the blessings of love

From the hearts of Father's and Mother's

Hand me downs are also of the Circle of Faith

That we hold as God's family of sisters and brothers
