The name and date are chiseled out On polished, marbled stone. It reaches out to all who care It is too late to mourn. You did not know that I exist You died and I was born. Yet each of us are cells of you In flesh, in blood, in bone. Our blood contracts and beats a pulse Entirely not our own. Dear Ancestor, the place you filled One hundred years ago Spreads out among the ones you left Who would have loved you so. I wonder if you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew That someday I would find this spot, And come to visit you. --Unknown --part0_912517050_boundary Content-ID: <0_912517050@inet_out.mail.aol.com.2> Content-type: message/rfc822 Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Content-disposition: inline Return-Path: <SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY-request@rootsweb.com> Received: from rly-zd05.mx.aol.com (rly-zd05.mail.aol.com [172.31.33.229]) by air-zd02.mail.aol.com (v51.29) with SMTP; Mon, 30 Nov 1998 18:04:48 1900 Received: from bl-14.rootsweb.com (bl-14.rootsweb.com [204.212.38.30]) by rly-zd05.mx.aol.com (8.8.8/8.8.5/AOL-4.0.0) with ESMTP id SAA04435; Mon, 30 Nov 1998 18:04:26 -0500 (EST) Received: (from slist@localhost) by bl-14.rootsweb.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA11274; Mon, 30 Nov 1998 14:59:15 -0800 (PST) Resent-Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 14:59:15 -0800 (PST) From: Carolyn690@aol.com Message-ID: <56753c4c.36632407@aol.com> Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 18:02:31 EST Old-To: SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY@rootsweb.com Subject: Ancestor X-Mailer: AOL 3.0 16-bit for Windows sub 38 Resent-Message-ID: <"vPDHgB.A.yhC.vMyY2"@bl-14.rootsweb.com> To: SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY@rootsweb.com Resent-From: SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY@rootsweb.com X-Mailing-List: <SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY@rootsweb.com> archive/latest/7748 X-Loop: SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY@rootsweb.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY-request@rootsweb.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Dear Ancestor Your tombstone stands among the rest; Neglected and alone.
