Dear Ancestor"Your tombstone stands among the rest;Neglected and aloneThe 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 youIn flesh, in blood, in bone.Our blood contracts and beats a pulseEntirely 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 knewThat someday I would find this spot,And come to visit you." Written by Walter Butler Palmer 1906 Along the side of the poem "Twisted twigs on gnarled branches"
