OUR ANCESTORS

May we be blessed to remember
all the ancestors we’ve come from…
and to live our life so they’ll be proud
of the person we’ve become.

I certainly echo your hope and sentiments expressed in your great 4 lines here Jim. Your poem reminds this Brit of a trip I took to Italy several years back to trace my Italian (Milan) ancestors . How the heck I’m here today is mind boggling. So many children in the family tree died circa 1700s and yet one survived - my Great Grandfather x 6.
