If you are reading this because edits aren't being done in a timely manner, please be patient. Yes, I'm still an active member. Since the pandemic started, between work and my kids doing virtual learning, I simply haven't had time do findagrave. I have been letting the edits go through automatically after the 21 days. I will catch up with email edit requests as soon as I can.
-----------------------------------------------------
Your tombstone stands among the rest,
neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
on polished marble 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 and 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.
