The roots run deep
holding heritage in place
such honor in the seek
of seedlings of grace~

I traipse through the forest of ancestral past
knowing the anchoring of majestic roots that last
Seeking to honor the Ancient’s from their time
with one small voice in poetic rhyme~

I listen to the tales talk … as I gently walk
under the branches of the family tree
standing ever strong … for eternity~



~In total awareness that my family roots have given me life and purpose~
I stand firmly rooted in the knowledge that I am all that they were …
Seeker of truth … justice … and a knowing of peace within~



~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram <))><

Awwwwww, thank you Eric ... I think you just made my day !

I'm doing a family geneology search on my grandfather's side of the family and finding so much rich heritage that makes me so proud of who they were ... and to be the seed of such knowledge and wisdom is more than I could ever have hoped for~

I know they would be proud of the sprouting of the seeds of their planting ... in all of us who hold firmly to the roots of our gracious heritage~

Not enough people searching their roots
these days, Marge.  I enjoy it too.

"the anchoring of majestic roots"
What a beautiful phrase to describe your family heritage. This is just lovely Marge.
I have also been working on geneology and it gets quite interesting.
I love your picture. You are beautiful.
Take care
Liz

FriendsALL~
I so appreciate each precious reply~

As I search the ancestral roots, I find such respect for those who went before me ... and left the footprints for me to follow~

Hoping that each of you will make the time to search~
It is just soooooo rewarding~ (and inspirational)
