 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 the spot, 
 And come to visit you.

IF

If you could see your ancestors,all standing in a row,
 Would you be proud of them,or don't you really know?
 Strange discoveries are made in climbing family trees,
 And some of them,you know,might not particularly please.
 There might even be some of them,you wouldn't care to know, If you could see your ancestors,all standing in a row.
 But here is another question that requires a different view, If you could meet your ancestors,what would they think of YOU?

          **********************************************

NOT PERFECT

No book is entirely perfect
 For errors will creep in;
 Sometimes wrong information is sent
 By someone's nearest kin.

And even printers make mistakes
 For which they tear their hair;
 Sometimes two people disagree
 On who or what or where.

It might have been the person
 Who wrote the history
 It might have been the typist,
 Or blame the author, me.

So if you're dead before you're born,
 Or married when you're three,
 Or I've omitted anyone
 Who sent themselves to me.

Or your last name is not your own,
 Your picture not too good,
 I ask you please forgive me
 I did the best I could!

                          GENEALOGY

A little girl asked  her mother, 'How did the human race appear?'        The mother  answered, 'God made Adam and Eve and they had children and        so  was all mankind made.'
        Two days later the girl asked  her father the same question.        The father answered, 'Many  years ago there were monkeys from which the        human  race  evolved.'
        The confused girl returned to her mother  and said, 'Mom, how is it        possible that you told me the human race was  created by God, and Dad said        they developed from  monkeys?'
        The mother answered, 'Well, dear, it is very  simple. I told you about        my side of the family and your father told you about his.'
