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. 
 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.  -author unknown



"If You Could See Your Ancestors" 

If you could see your ancestors,
 All standing in a row,
 Would you be proud of them,
 Or don't you really know?

Some strange discoveries are made 
 In climbing family trees;
 And some of them, you know,
 Do not particularly please.

If you could see your ancestors,
 All standing in a row,
 There might be some of them, perhaps, 
 You wouldn't care to know.

But there's another question 
 Which requires a different view ...
 If you could "meet" your ancestors,
 Would they be proud of you?

The Spirt of Friendship Lives Forever

Never lose an old friend
 No matter what the cause
 We wouldn't ever do it
 If we didn't look for flaws
 The one thing worth while having
 Is the friend who stands the test
 And who has one friend such as this
 Knows friendship at its best.
