Family History
Should I look into family history
And find my ancestors’ story
Will I be surprised by what they have done
Or be happy for what they had won
Perhaps some were convicts transported
And ended up on these shores prison escorted
I know there are Irish roots
Who left Eire when it was poverty and starvation to boot
And some others who came from Posen in Germany
To escape religious repression in this country
But still there may be some black sheep
Whose deeds would be unlawfully complete
For in any family there will be
These people who now be a smile to my face to see.
