Ancestry

        When speaking of our ancestry, my mother’s eyes would shine

         and proudly she would tell us all, “You’re of the Tudor line.”

    But father with a smile would say, “while bearing that in mind You

          keep your eyes on goals ahead; not those that lie behind.”

             You have a noble ancestry, bul all are dead and gone.

  Tis you who have to prove your worth, not those who’ve journeyed on.

      There may be some you can’t approve and even some you’d hate.

           The way to prove your ancestry is what your are yourself.

             Not by the charted family tree in a book upon a shelf.

                 So try to be an ancestor within the time allowed,

      of whom your children’s children in the future can be proud.
