ANCESTORS
Today I bend my head reverence.remembering.
…remembering not sight
……but incarnate memory
Your time on earth..long spent.
The record of your joys and sorrows
…recorded in faded lines on delicate paper
……fragile and crumbling.dimmed with time
I touch the pages gently.
……my love for you. yearning
And I remember.
……remember that I stand on soil your feet have touched
I see the beauty your eyes feasted upon
I hear the sounds of a living earth that thrilled your soul
I bear the torch of life
you’ve passed to me
…Its vibrant flame has lighted the way for others of thy seed
………the circles of life expanding
I behold my Grandchildren.strong and sturdy
…Thy blood coursing through their veins.Their lifeblood
Their lives a testament to this Eternal plan.
Thy kingdom shall roll forth
……and we will join hearts and hands with thee
As all things in heaven and on earth
……shall be gathered together in one
And as the hearts of thy children are turned to thee
……and your hearts are tuned and turned to us.
……in vibrant loving life force
We pledge to thee our filial devotion
We honor thee in remembrance of thy gift of life
