To My Ancestors - Sherrie Lovler

[Larry Robinson]

To My Ancestors

To you, whom I did not know,
To you, who took the steps
to create your future
to carve a new path as your world
turned upside down. 

To you, who left your country,
your soil,
to brave the seas
and take a chance on life—
to start over
to have hope
to linger in thoughts and dreams and aspirations.

To you, who created the footsteps
to continue life
to want more
to nurture and bring forth a new generation.

To you, who let me be born
out of the desire of the human soul,

I thank you.
