PAD #25 across the sea

A Forgotten Name

Across the sea,
somewhere in
Scotland,
Wales,
England,
Ireland
in some dusty books,
perhaps in a church
older than anything
the United States
has ever seen,
my ancestors' names
were scrawled,
just letting people know
they once existed
and I am also proof,
yet, I wonder who they were
and what they were like
and how long it will be

before I am just like them.
