chasing ancestors

i wonder.......

as i track down bits and pieces of information about their lives
now long gone

did they think..........

as they went about their day that a descendant..............

a LONG time in the future was going to be watching them as they
got married,
had children,
got naturalized............
as they bought and sold property

all the thousand little things we take for granted as anonymous
lost in a sea of humanity

did it ever once cross their minds............

someday..........
one of my children's children's children will find this

and say

i have met my ancestor.....................
