Ancestors
11.21.05 (11:43 pm) [edit]When I sit and am quiet,
My ancestors come to mind.
Not just recent,
Since I am thinking out side of time,
But to all no matter how far back;
I feel connected to,
And offer a prayer
For healing to flow freely,
And for love to arise from the roots,
Of the family tree,
Of which I am one of the youngest.
In that progression seemingly infinite
That will continue long after I am gone
From this mortal world,
That is filled with joy, strife, love, and suffering…..
I am in union
With my line
As they are one with me,
In God's sight,
One family, united by our common link
As yet unbroken.

I feel that way too, when I'm dead and gone my future children will still be here continuing my DNA line. It's an awesome thought when you think about it, like 300 years from now, there will be people on this earth thanks to you and only YOU.

Yes, true. How did the poetry go?
