A Poem

If you could meet your ancestors,
all standing a row,
Would you be proud of them or not
or don't you really know?
Some strange discoveries are made
in climbing family trees,
And some of these you know
do not particularly please.

If you could meet your ancestors
all standing in a row,
There might be some of them perhaps
you would not care to know.
But there is another question
which presents a different view,
If you could meet your ancestors
would they be proud of you?

I found this little poem in the preface of a book entitled "A Geneology and History of Robert Bradish in America." I have been reading the book to find out if my mom's biological line will lead to Robert Bradish. I have a big hunch that it does, but I am still waiting for the little puzzle piece that will make me positive. Anyways I liked the poem.
