Geneology
we lived and died here
Names trickle by,
echoes of the past
Stories unfold
Startling revelations
In the stories we shared
Souls and mortal sins bared
We name our children in their honour
They will echo us forever
In their blood and bones.

Love the tribute to one’s family history ~ This part is my favorite:
They will echo us forever
In their blood and bones.
