ANCESTRAL TAPESTRY
By Zella Londigan Upon the wall it hangs, a panorama of the past Threadbare and worn, but vivid still, it's colors yet are cast, Portraying those who went before, but left to me a part of blood and gene and courage.........they beat within my heart Pioneer with trudging step you move across the warp, patience in your weary feet, your eye still keen and sharp You shouldered your rifle, headed west, with trust in God for keep leaving home and family ties......dry tears you never weep A soldier there!.......in blue or gray, it matters little now You fought because the call came loud, no choice of when or how. My lady in her billowing skirts, lily-white of hand and face You grace the home with charms so fair; in muslin and in lace A hundred years! They are not dim. I see the faces dear! Grandparents, uncles, aunts......unknown, but oh, so dear! Dates and names mean little still, but each one ties a knot That makes my tapestry complete.....except for one blank spot There must be room left at the edge, for one day I will be a part of someone's old and faded.............
