Poetry: Ancestors

by Bruce Grant

Created on: June 24, 2008

Write as I may, of the ones from which I descend.
These many hard, tried and true people they were.
Imagine as you must how they labor each day,
life they must endure and again, todays standards cannot relate.
Basic food and shelter, and also must be true,
love and lives made as generations lived life through.
As I repose, o' the stories heard, of father's father's,
life's freedom we have retained and realize it's worth.
