Just receive this poem and wanted to share it ......Love Sharon >>Dear Ancestor >> >>Your tombstone stands among the rest; >>Neglected and alone. >>The name and date are chiseled out >>On polished, marbled stone. >>It reaches out to all who care >>It is too late to mourn. >>You did not know that I exist >>You died and I was born. >>Yet each of us are cells of you >>In flesh, in blood, in bone. >>Our blood contracts and beats a pulse >>Entirely not our own. >>Dear Ancestor, the place you filled >>One hundred years ago >>Spreads out among the ones you left >>Who would have loved you so. >>I wonder if you lived and loved, >>I wonder if you knew >>That someday I would find this spot, >>And come to visit you. >>
