About Iowa's Walker-Clay-Meyer-Tallman Tree's
DEAR 
 ANCESTOR                                                                             
 Your tombstone stands amoung the rest; 
 neglected and alone                                
 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 amoung 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.





THE ELDERS ARE PASSING

Our elders are passing, one by one 
 Surely gone forever, until there are none. 
 Their bountiful memories, their knowledge of the past, 
 Soon will be lost, and beyond our grasp.

The past is prologue, so delicate to retain, 
 Slipping slowly from our grasp, til nothing remains. 
 For our elders are passing, so sad but true, 
 And with them their memories, and all that they knew.

It's urgent for sure, to record each thought, 
 Of every family elder, so its not for naught. 
 So generations remember the beauteous past, 
 We'll retain that knowledge, and ensure it will last.

There'll be no better time, than that right now, 
 To begin your quest, or to renew your vow. 
 So locate your elders, and schedule that meeting, 
 In light of the fact, that time is so fleeting.
