 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.

YOU ARE MY ANCESTOR


As I stand, gazing at your crumbling tomb,
 that is, amidst so many more of long ago
Your name engraved in marbled stone is barely seen /visible,
but yet it reaches out to those who care,

You are mine,
I have found you
I feel you presence near,
I feel you in my bones.
Your blood is my blood, your cells are my cells,
And
each of us are part of you.
Your spirit lives in my heart and soul.

I wonder if you'd ever dreamt that someday
I would find this spot, and stand and pray
And how I'd feel today as I touch this weathered stone

I, who would have loved you so,
know it is to late to mourn.
 as you have lived so many years ago

I know who you are, and where you were born
Who you loved and when you married.
I've often wondered how you lived and died,

You would never have known that I would live,
To see your grave and sigh
for you and yours had died long before I was here today.

We, your family who now live,
 know that you would be proud today to know there is
 one of us that is called to tell the family story and make us live again,
and  to know that you'd approve
