Mayflower Impact
I heard our ancestors came on the mayflower boat
sad part there was not a journal or a note
it sounds like a miracle my early grandparents Thomas and Susan Collier landed on Plymouth rock
a vision of their voyage made me feel spooky, haunted and in shock
its futile to prove our first ancestors came here
maybe the government kept us from our powers for making history so dear
my early grandparents Thomas and Susan collier survived the rough seas
and this legacy means a lot to me
all I know is Thomas and Susan Collier died in Plymouth rock somewhere much of our ancestry lineage was in Virginia and then Tennessee from there
I met my kinfolks in Tennessee to learn about me
I saw the grave yards in the forest where my natives are buried
my ancestors lineage was kept in the bible like a passport
our freedom was stronger than England's deport
we were here before the written constitution
we survive and out lived the genocide revolutions
